Abstract:—In his 62 years of actively collecting plants (1925-1987), Julian Steyermark described 2,392 taxa, including 1 family, 38 genera, and 1,864 species. He named plants from 26 countries and from 16 states in the U.S.A. Types of taxa that he named are listed alphabetically by family, with author, literature citation, collector, collection number, date of collection, locality, elevation, and depository. Comments are supplied, where pertinent, on never-published names, illegitimate names, and some current nomenclature (which are not referenced in the bibliography). Appendices include eponymy, collectors index, and family index. The bibliography includes 395 references. Statistical summaries are provided.
