Cook (in Contrib. U.S. Nat. Herb. 16 (1918) 285) has 
pointed out that the Linnean genus Achras was based on 
Plumier’s plate of Sapota which clearly illustrates the 
sapodilla. Furthermore, the first citation under Achras 
Zapota, the only species given in the first edition of the 
Species Plantarum, is to Plumier’s Sapota fructu ovato 
majori, the form figured in the plate. It is evident that 
Linnaeus had the sapodilla in mind when he described 
A. Zapota and this name must be used for the species 
involved, no matter what its subsequent nomenclatorial 
history may have been.
