 Ruiz and Pavon, JVor. Peruv. p. 8. have constitu- 

 ted the preceding new genus out of several new 

 species of Piper found in Peru. Persoon, how- 

 ever, is of opinion, that a farther examination of 

 the species is necessary before this separation 

 should be adopted. See Synopsis, j. p. 34.
