Abstract
The nomenclatural type of the name Cuphea was stated by Graham to be C. dec andra, but there is an earlier type designation by Swart who chose C. visco sissima. Both options are discussed, and it is concluded that Swart's typif ication must stand. A lectotype of C. viscosissima is designated, supersedi ng the neotype proposed by Graham.
