Note.

Within the protologue, Cuatrecasas (1948 [1949]) did cite a single collection as the type (“ Type: … 25-II-1947 colect. J. Cuatrecasas 23723. ”); he however, mentioned three herbaria (F, VALLE, US) as housing the type, and he thus did not indicate the holotype and only cited syntypes. Bernardi (1963: 310) mentioned Cuatrecasas 23723 (“ F; typus W. queremalensis ”); we, however, found two duplicates of this collection in that herbarium. Bernardi inadvertently did the first-step lectotypification process, and we herewith select one duplicate for the second-step lectotypification. Weinmannia queremalensis is considered a synonym of W. latifolia C. Presl. in Bernal (2016: 1127), who cited the type as housed in COL, F, US, and VALLE herbaria.
