Three species of Persea are native to the southeastern USA. Alternative classifications have been suggested, or, in some cases, implemented for Persea s.lat., placing these aforementioned three species in a different genus (e.g., Farnesia, Mutisiopersea, or Tamala). This article examines the nomenclature of potential segregate genera and takes a closer look at the names of Rafinesque. Two genera described by Fabricius (Burbonia and Farnesia) are the oldest available segregate genera. Combinations are made in Farnesia for the three species of the southeastern USA formerly in Persea.
