Balata Aublet does not apply to the Balata of Guiana, 
but rather to a plant of Madagascar and Mauritius. De 
Candolle’s name, the next oldest available, must there¬ 
fore be taken up. Dubard, however, pointed out in 1915 
that the American species of Mimusops should preferably 
be referred to ManiUcara , a view-point with which the 
majority of taxonomists are in agreement.
