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

"Habitat in India." RCN: 234.

Lectotype (Huber in Dassanayake & Fosberg, Revised Handb. Fl. Ceylon 6: 288. 1987): Herb. Hermann 4: 13, No. 30 (BM) .

Current name: Piper longum L. ( Piperaceae).

Note: Huber refers to the type as located in vol. 4: 48 of the Hermann herbarium but as the only material is in vol. 4: 13, it seems clear that this was an error, treated here as correctable.
