Piper aduncum Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 29. 1753.

"Habitat in Jamaica." RCN: 238.

Lectotype (Saralegui Boza in Greuter & Rankin, Fl. Republ. Cuba, ser. A, 9(3): 81. 2004): [icon] " Saururus arborescens, fructu adunco " in Plumier, Descr. Pl. Amér .: 58, t. 77. 1693.

Current name: Piper aduncum L. ( Piperaceae).

Note: Tebbs (in Bull. Nat. Hist. Mus. London, Bot. 23: 19. 1993) indicated Houstoun material (presumably in Herb. Sloane, BM) as “?lectotype” but this was not seen by Linnaeus and is not original material for the name.
