Cuatrecasas 9451 (lectotype, designated here, COL [barcode COL 000001501!]; isolectotypes, F [barcode F 0063252 F image!], F [barcode F 0063253 F image!], P [barcode P 02441812!], U [barcode U 0082346 image!], US [barcode US 00097280 image!], US [barcode US 00097281 image!], US [barcode US 00997637 image!]) .

Note.

Cuatrecasas (1941) cited a single collection as the type but did not mention the herbarium housing the type (“ Typus: … 2-VI-1940, J. Cuatrecasas, 9451. ”). He also cited a paratype collection as “ Ya en prensa este trabajo, el Dr. A. Dugand ha recolectado en el mismo Páramo de Guasca y en lugar próximo al del tipo unos ejemplares (Dugand 2969: Cordillera oriental: Páramo de Guasca; vertiente oriental, 3100 metros alt., Julio 20, 1941) ”. Bernal (2016: 1126-1127) merely mentioned that the type was housed in COL, F, U, and US herbaria and treated this species as a synonym of W. karsteniana Szyszył. We selected the duplicate deposited at COL as the lectotype.
