The author makes a critical study of the Piperaceae of the Trinidad and Tobago Islands on the basis of the important collections of D. Lockhart, W. Purdie, H. Crueger and A. Fendler, as well as the collections of N.L. Britton and collaborators deposited at the New York Botanical Garden and from the more recent collections by W.E. Broadway, N.Y. Sandwith and others. He adds keys of genera and species, citations of the studied material and its geographical distribution.
