Weinmannia ovalis Ruiz & Pav. var. petiolata Cuatrec., Lloydia 11 (3): 203. 1948 [1949].

Type.

Colombia • Dep. del Valle, Cordillera Occidental, Los Farallones, Quebrada de Las Nieves, lomas parameras sobre la mina El Diamante 3100–3120 m, 31-VII-1946, J. Cuatrecasas 21820 (lectotype, designated here: F [barcode V 0334900 F image!]; isolectotypes, F [barcode V 0334901 F image!], COL [barcode COL 000076221!], P [P 05518589 image!]) .

Note.

Cuatrecasas (1948 [1949]) did cite the collection J. Cuatrecasas 21820 housed at the F Herbarium as the type; however, in the F Herbarium there are two duplicates of the collection, and both specimens lack the holotype annotation, and thus constitute syntypes; we chose one of them for the lectotypification (cf. Art. 40 Ex. 3). This variety is a synonym of W. elliptica Kunth according to Bernal (2016: 1126).
