Type : D'après Tropicos: "This name has been cited as a combination based on Tetramerium odoratissimum Gaertn., but that name is illeg. and thus cannot be a basionym so Faramea odoratissima should be a replacement name for that. But in any case Candolle here cited the previously published names Coffea occidentalis (L.) Jacq. and Ixora occidentalis L. in synonymy, and should have used the epithet "occidentalis" therefore his name is superfluous."
