Weinmannia bogotensis Cuatrec., Ciencia (México) 1: 253. 1940.

≡ Weinmannia auriculata var. bogotensis (Cuatrec.) Bernardi, Candollea 18: 325. 1963.

Type.

Colombia • Dep. Cundinamarca, vertiente oriental de la Sierra de Bogotá en la quebrada de los Santos, 3000 m, 28-I-1940, J. Cuatrecasas 8005 (lectotype, first-step designated by Bernardi (1963: 325) as type, second-step lectotype designated here F [barcode F 0063212 F image!]; isolectotypes, BC [barcode BC 623896 image!], COL [barcode COL 000001489!], COL [barcode COL 000001490!], F [barcode F 0063213 F image!], P [barcode P 00697246!], U [barcode U 0001478 image!], US [barcode US 00097243 image!]) .

Note.

Cuatrecasas (1940) did mention the collection J. Cuatrecasas 8005 as the type, but he did not cite the herbarium housing the type. Subsequently, Bernardi (l. c.) cited J. Cuatrecasas 8005 housed at F as the type; however, the F herbarium has two duplicates of the preceding collection. It is construed here that Bernardi inadvertently did the first-step lectotypification process, and we herewith select one duplicate for the second-step lectotypification. This species is a synonym of W. auriculata D. Don in Bernal (2016: 1126), and it is likely a hybrid-origin taxon (Fajardo-Gutiérrez et al. 2020; Miranda and Fuentes 2012).
