Homonymie : D'après
Tropicos: "Combining
Mimosa ynga into
Inga does not technically create a tautonym, as has been the tradtional interpretation, including the interpretation by Martius, who proposed the nom. nov.,
Inga edulis, to reflect the widespread use of the sarcostemma (aril) around the seeds for human consumption. Although technically a superfluous name,
Inga edulis Mart. has been so long used as a legitimate replacement name, that in the spirit of Article 53.3 (“If established practice has been to treat two similar names as homonyms, this practice is to be continued if it is in the interest of nomenclatural stability.” ) this should continue to be the current practice. [GD, 7 Oct 2016]. Nomenclature Committee ruled that
Mimosa inga and
Mimosa ynga are sufficiently alike to be confused [see Applequist
2019]." D'après Molino
et al. (Adansonia, 44(26):
[345-]518[-903]. 13/12/2022): "
Mimosa ynga Vell. and
M. inga
L. have been ruled as confusable by the Nomenclature Committee for
Vascular Plants (Applequist
2019). The former is therefore to be treated
as a later homonym."
