Heckeria (named for a German botanist). Piperaceae. About 8 S. American and 1 Old World woody plants, distinguished in Piper (with which it is often united) by the many more or less umbellate elongated dense spikes, perfect sessile fls., 2-3 stamens, small anthers with confluent 2-valved cells, obtuse ovary, 3 stigmas: lvs. large, sometimes peltate. H. umbellata, Kunth (Piper umbellatum, Linn. Pothomorphe umbellata, Miq.), is probably not now in the trade. It is a shrub with roundish-reniform not peltate 11-13- nerved petioled lvs., and 4-7 spikes in an umbel; it occurs from Cuba to Brazil. G.W. 9, p. 445. L. H. B.
