Pouteria is a "
wastebasket taxon", and its size is continually being expanded or decreased. The
segregated
Labatia, described by
Olof Swartz in 1788 and named after the French botanist
Jean-Baptiste Labat, was maintained as a distinct entity until the 1930s, when it was synonymized with
Pouteria. Most segregated genera that were merged with
Pouteria again were established by
Henri Ernest Baillon and
Jean Baptiste Louis Pierre. Recent phylogenetic and morphological studies found
Pouteria to be
polyphyletic, and many genera previously subsumed into
Pouteria and/or
Chrysophyllum, including
Achrouteria, Chloroluma, Cornuella, Englerella, Labatia, Lucuma, Martiusella, Nemaluma, Peteniodendron, Prieurella, and
Ragala, have been reinstated.
