Summary Achras zapota L. (1753) is to be typified by Sapota fructu ovato, majori Plumier (1703), which is shown by Plumier's unpublished description and drawing to be a form of the sapodilla or naseberry. If a broad generic concept is adopted, the correct name for the sapodilla is Manilkara zapota (L.) P. van Royen, for the sapote Pouteria sapota (Jacq.) H. E. Moore & Stearn. If a narrow generic concept is adopted, the correct names are respectively Achras zapota L. and Calocarpum sapota (Jacq.) Merrill.
