Abstract


We present a nomenclatural study on genus Cuphea (Lythraceae) from Paraguay containing the correct name for 28 accepted species and their corresponding synonyms. We have revised the typification for most of the listed taxa. Subgcnus Lytrocuphea Koehne, sect. Brachyanclra Koehne and sect. Enatiocuphea Koehne are typificd here. C. tuberosa Cham. & Schltdl., C. inaequalifolia Koehne. C. punctulata Koehne and some synonyms are lectotypified. The following new nomenclatural combinations are proposed: C. corisperma subsp. hexasperma (Koehne) Duré & Molero. C. racemosa subsp. longiflora (Koehne) Duré &Molero and C. racemosa var. ramosior (Koehne ) Duré & Molero. From the chorological point of view, C. micrahtha Humb., Bonpl. & Kunth. Cuphea rusbyi Lourteig y C. sessilifoila Mart. are cited for first time from Paraguay. We also include some taxonomical comments about conflictive taxa like C. corisperma Koehne, C. hassleriKoehne and C. racemosa (L. f.) Sprengel, among others.
