Notes

According to C.M. Taylor (2020), confirmed records are only those from Venezuela.

• Taylor (2012) cited P.P. Moreno 25611 (collected at Buenos Aires, Río San Juan, Nicaragua, alt. 70 m, 23 March 1985; deposited in MO-999491 (3252773)^(GBIF)), J.S. Sperry 972 (collected in Sarapiquí, Heredia, Costa Rica, alt. 100 m, 21 July 1979; deposited in MO-716418 (3419290)^(GBIF); also in CR [​125553^(GBIF)], DUKE [see Tropicos record]) and G. McPherson 11935 (collected in Cerro Jefe region, Prov. Panamá, Panama, alt. 800 m, 13 January 1988; deposited in MO-942177 (3607863)^(GBIF); also in PMA [​PMA59604 (60969)]) as occurrences of this species, but she re-determined them with her new taxon Faramea stoneana subsp. stoneana in 2020.
• Colombian occurrence is represented by P. Franco R. 5267 (collected at Vereda Alto Campucana, finca La Mariposa, Mocoa, Putumayo, alt. 1350 m, 20 April 1994; deposited in COL [​COL000149885 (370478)]). Taylor (2011) cited R. Fonnegra G.[, F.J. Roldán & J.C. Betancur B.] 3005 (collected in San Carlos, Antioquia, alt. 820–900 m, 14 June 1989; deposited in HUA [see Tropicos record], MO-1534979 (4230380)^(GBIF); also in PMA [​PMA60490 (61794)]), but she later re-determined it with F. stoneana subsp. fasciculata C.M. Taylor in 2020.
• Ecuadoran occurrence had been represented by W.A. Palacios 2928 (collected at Biological Station Jatun Sacha, Napo, alt. 450 m, 7–16 September 1988; deposited in MO-1534973 (04646001)^(GBIF)), which was re-determined with F. stoneana subsp. fasciculata by Taylor in 2020.
• PWO also includes Brazil North in native range of F. parvibractea. T.C. Plowman et al. 8780 (collected in municipality Conceição do Araguaia, Pará, alt. 350–620 m, 13 February 1980; deposited in INPA [​INPA0122600^(GBIF)]; also in IAN [​IAN162116], MG [MG079972^(GBIF)], MO-1534518 (2931167)^(GBIF) [year as '1979', determined with Faramea corymbosa Aubl. by C.M. Taylor in 2003], NY [​NY01061296^(GBIF,)], US [​US02691342 (2978715)^(GBIF)]), the only collection formerly determined with this species, is doubtful in its identity
