Cecropia peltata Linnaeus, Systema Naturae, ed. 10, 2: 1286. 1759.

["Habitat in Jamaicae calidioris sylvis."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 2: 1450 (1763). RCN: 7356.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 1159.1 (LINN); Browne, Herb. Linn. No. 1159.2 (LINN) .

Current name: Cecropia peltata L. ( Urticaceae).

Note: Berg (in Görts-van Rijn, Fl. Guianas, ser. A, 11: 101. 1992) indicated material in LINN as holotype but this does not distinguish between sheets 1159.1 and 1159.2 (which do not appear to be part of a single gathering, so Art. 9.15 does not apply).
