DISCUSSION.— Barleriola saturejoides is endemic to Cuba (Acevedo-Rodríguez and Strong 2012). Barleriola reedii was listed as a synonym by León and Alain (1957). Borhidi and Muñiz (1972) recognized three subspecies based on pubescence. These subspecies appear to intergrade. The type locality of B. saturejoides is based on Howard (1988), who was unable to determine the geographic location of this place. There is a Potrero San Andrés about 6 km NW of Jicotea in the province of Villa Clara, but it is not certain that this is the same Potrero San Andrés at which Wright collected.
