Taxonomic notes: Dorr and Wiersema (2010a) have pointed out that Prance and Mori (1977) and Mori in Prance and Mori (1990) mistakenly used the unpublished name Lecythis ollaria Loefl. for Lecythis ollaria L. Although the genus was published by Loefling (1758), the species was published by Linnaeus in 1759 and not by Loefling; thus, L. ollaria Loefl. is a nomen nudum. Jarvis (2007, p. 617) recognized that it was Linnaeus who had published L. ollaria, but he failed to correctly typify the name. To avoid further confusion in the selection of a neotype, Dorr and Wiersema (2010a) selected the same specimen (Aristeguieta 839) for the neotype of L. ollaria L. as did Prance and Mori (1977) for the unpublished L. ollaria Loefl. See Dorr & Wiersema (2010b) for further information about Loefling and the Iter Hispanicum.
