Abstract

Five hundred sixty-one type specimens, representing 522 basionyms, of Piperaceae have been verified among the specimens of Piperaceae acquired by the New York Botanical Garden (NY) in the purchase of the Truman G. Yuncker Herbarium of DePauw University (DPU) in 1987. Included are types of 319 names published by T. G. Yuncker, as well as smaller numbers of types of names published by Trelease, C. de Candolle, Miquel, and others. Geographic emphasis of the specimens is on tropical America, particularly Brazil and Honduras, and the South Pacific. An index to the types, which includes basionym, place of publication, kind of type, and country of origin and collection number of type, is included.
