ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



I sincerely thank the following individuals and institutions whose assistance has been ii 

 completing this work: John Dwyer for inspiring this nomenclator and for making availab 

 on the types he examined at BM and K; C. Dennis Adams (BM) for welcome advici 

 Spermacoceae; Tim McDowell for information regarding Exostema and Syringantha; Robert M. Rhode 

 for information regarding Chiococca; Marshall R. Crosby, Gerrit Davidse, and Amy McPherson for 

 helpful discussions, comments, and suggestions; Lennart Andersson and Charlotte Taylor for their detailed 

 reviews, which substantially improved the manuscript; Janet Leopold and Teri Teasdale for help with 

 often tedious manuscript preparation; Rick Hanna for locating many obscure references; and Barbara 

 Mack for updating and formatting the manuscript for publication. I also thank the curators of the herbaria 

 cited within for loaning specimens and for providing work space and access to their collections. During 

 my tenure as Investigador at the Herbario Nacional de Mexico (MEXU), the Instituto de Biologia of the 

 Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico provided financial support, enabling me to study and 

 photograph types of Mexican and Central American Rubiaceae at the F, MO, P, and US herbaria. 

 Additional financial support enabling me to study and photograph types at P was provided by a grant from 

 CONACYT (Mexico). The Missouri Botanical Garden provided facilities and support during my many 

 visits there. Finally, I am grateful to William L. Theobald and the late William McK. Klein, Jr., former 

 directors of the National Tropical Botanical Garden, for supporting various phases of work on this project. 

 My sincere gratitude is extended to all who have helped me.
