Kunth, Karl (Carl) Sigismund

Published In: Linnaea 13: 590–592. 1839. (Linnaea)
Annotation: TL2, p. 697, entry 4008: Bemerkungen ueber die Familie der Piperaceen was a reprinted work in Jun. 1840, but the validating treatment for Enckea published in Linnaea, vol. 13(6): 561–726, in 1839.
Nomenclature Reason: Nom. illeg. superfl. Enckea as circumscribed by Kunth included the type of a previously published, valid genus, Gonistum Raf. Thus, Enckea is a superfluous name, because Kunth should have used the older name. This name was also published later as Piper sect. Enckea C. DC.
