Weinmannia penicillata Cuatrec.

Weinmannia penicillata Cuatrec., Caldasia 2: 13, figs. 1, 2. 1941. ≡ W. ovalis var. penicillata (Cuatrec.) Cuatrec., Lloydia 11 (3): 203. 1948 [1949]. Type. Colombia • Cordillera Oriental sobre el filo divisorio entre el Dept. del Huila y la Comisaría del Caquetá, en Gabinete, 2300-2450 m alt., 21-III-1940, J. Cuatrecasas 8430 (lectotype, designated here, F [barcode F 0063264 F image!]; isolectotypes, CM [barcode CM 0754 image!], COL [barcode COL 000001503!], F [barcode F 0063263 F image!], G [barcode G 00357648 (fragment) image!], US [barcode US 00097287 image!]). Note. Cuatrecasas (1941) cited a single collection as the type but he did not mention the herbarium housing it (“ Typus: … 21-III-1940, J. Cuatrecasas, 8430. ”). Subsequently, he mentioned (Cuatrecasas 1948 [1949]) that the type was housed in the F Herbarium. We, however, found two duplicates of that collection at F. Therefore, it is interpreted that Cuatrecasas (1948 [1949]) inadvertently did the first-step lectotypification process, and we herewith do the second-step lectotypification process. Bernal (2016: 1126) treated this species as a synonym of W. elliptica Kunth.
