Labramia Explained

Labramia is a genus of plants in the family Sapotaceae described as a genus in 1844. De Candolle initially named the genus Delastrea,^[1] which is a homonym for an older fungus name by Tulasne, so De Candolle changed the name to Labramia in the appendix to the same book.^{[2] [3]}

Labramia is native to certain islands in the Indian Ocean (Madagascar and nearby Mayotte).^[4]
