1. Stenandrium ekmanii Urb., Symb. Antill. 9:130. 1923. TYPE.— CUBA. Guantánamo: Prope Bayate, Picote , in cacumine montis calcarei, in declivibus saxosis umbrosis, 550 m, flowers white, 16 Jul 1916, Ekman 7407 (lectotype, designated here: S [05-308]; isolectotypes: BM, GH, US). Figure 5D .

Stenandrium glabrescens Urb., Symb. Antill. 9:131. 1923. TYPE.— CUBA. Holguín: In Sierra de Nipe ad Río Piloto , 14 Mar 1915, Ekman 5021 (lectotype, designated here: S [05-309]; isolectotypes: NY, US) .

DISCUSSION.— Stenandrium ekmanii is endemic to Cuba (Acevedo-Rodríguez and Strong 2015), and was erroneously reported in South America (Acevedo-Rodríguez and Strong 2012; IPNI 2013). Stenandrium glabrescens was treated as a synonym by León and Alain (1957).
