These herbarium specimens
(Holotype: Swartz s.n. at S,
Isotypes (?): Swartz s.n. at
B-Willd,
BM,
G-DC,
LD,
M,
SBT) have been allocated as types in Sleumer (1980) but I believe this is erroneous. I do not know why Sleumer made these decisions at this point in time. I will investigate further [24 July 2009], but until I have evidence to confirm why these specimens have been made into types I am stating the earlier holotype from Piper aggregatum P.J. Bergius as the correct one.
The full Latin description of L. myricoides is to be found in Swartz O (1797) Flora Indiae Occidentalis, Londini: 1091-4. The full Latin description will be added to this page in due course.
