Wood Anatomy of the Neotropical Sapotaceae. XXXIV. Franchetella-Eremoluma.

Abstract

The genus Franchetella was established by Pierre in 1890, represented by the type species F. tarapotensis (Eichl.) Pierre that had been discovered in the Peruvian Amazon and originally designated as Lucuma tarapotensis Eichl. The genus Eremoluma was created by Baillon in 1891 based on a collection from French Guiana and designated as E. sagotiana Baill. Subsequent students of the Sapotaceae did not accept these genera and relegated then to synonymy under the dubious genus Lucuma. In 1942 Baehni (4) transferred the types of Franchetella and Eremoluma and a number of additional species to Pouteria in Section Eremoluma that included the following species: Pouteria anibifolia (A. C. Smith) Baehni, P. cearensis Baehni, P. rostrata (Huber) Baehni, P. sagotiana (Baill.) Eyma, P. reticulata (Engl.) Eyma, P. meyeri (Standl.) Baehni, P. unilocularis (Donn.-Sm.) Baehni, P. tarapotensis (Eichl.) Baehni, P. platyphylla (A. C. Smith) Baehni, P. campanulata Baehni, and later (5) added P. purusiana Baehni.
