Type : Theobroma angustifolium DC. 1824 [désigné comme lectotype par Colli-Silva et al., Brittonia, 76(1): 58. 14/05/2024] (Mexique, Sessé & Moçiño).
Theobroma grandiflorum (Willd. ex Spreng.) K.Schum. 1826 [= T. macranthum Bernoulli 1869] [cité de manière illégitime comme "type" par Cuatrecasas, Contr. U.S. Natl. Herb. 35(6): 526. 1964] (Brésil, Pará).​
Note: d'après Colli-Silva et al. (2024): "Although Cuatrecasas (1964: 526) stated that the type of this section was Theobroma grandiflorum DC., this species was not one of the species included by Bernoulli (1869) and cannot serve as type of this name."
