Sideroxylon lycioides Linnaeus, Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 1: 279. 1762.

"Habitat in Canada." RCN: 1546.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 94.19 (S); Herb. Linn. No. 261.6 (LINN); [icon] in Duhamel, Traité Arbr. Arbust. 2: 260, t. 68. 1755.

Current name: Sideroxylon lycioides L. ( Sapotaceae).

Note: Pennington (Fl. Neotropica 52: 170. 1990) indicated unspecified material in LINN as the holotype but did not distinguish between sheets 261.6 and 261.7. As they are evidently not part of a single gathering, Art. 9.15 does not apply and the name remains untypified.
