Abstract

Nikolaus J. Jacquin (1727-1817), the first European naturalist to botanize and study plants from present-day Colombia, described numerous species from the Caribbean for the first time, including seven species of Aristolochia. Currently five of them –A. anguicida, A. caudata, A. maxima, A. oblongata and A. pentandra– are valid, and the remaining two species –A. barbata nd A. pandurata– are synonyms of A. rugosa and A. odoratissima, respectively. Here we designated lectotypes of A. barbata and A. caudata and clarify the identity of the illustrations of the capsule and seeds of A. caudata in Jacquin’s iconography. The extensive ethnobotanical account of A. anguicida, provided by native inhabitants of the surroundings of Cartagena, is striking, and which turns out to be the first report of the anti-venom properties of a species of Aristolochia native to the American tropics.
