Note.

For the type designation, Cuatrecasas (1941) cited three collections (“ Typus: … 25-III-1940, J. Cuatrecasas, 8691. También en id. id., hondonada del Abra de San Andrés, 2100- 1900 m. alt., 24-III-40, J. Cuatrecasas, 8601 y 8654 ”) but he did not mention any herbaria. We chose J. Cuatrecasas 8691, conserved at the COL Herbarium, as the lectotype. Bernal (2016: 1128) merely mentioned that the type is at the COL Herbarium and treated this species as a synonym of W. sorbifolia Kunth.
