Note: Wells (1965: 149) noted simply ë''Isotype, F! without noting which of the collections cited by Baker this was.
Polymnia silphioides DC. var. perennis Bettfr., Fl. Argent. 2: 116 (1900). Type: Palermo, San Isidro. Bettfreunds herbarium and types are listed as B, SI in TL II. It is probable that the holotype is in SI.
Polymnia andrei Arechav., Ann. Mus. Nac. Montevideo 2, 1: 35 (1905). Type: Vive en parajes frescos herbosos, orillas de selvas etc. Los ejemplares del Herbario proceden de Tacuarembo, como la dejemos dicho al principio. Florece por los meses de noviembre y diciembre. Wells (1965) cited simply Type, W. However, it more than likely that the type collections are in Uruguay in MVM.

Argentina, Bolivia (Tarija), Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay.
Robinson (1978: 49), like Wells (1965: 149), did not cite Bolivia in the distribution of this species.

in Chile legit cl. Haenke. ... (v.s.
in h. Haenke cl. de Sternberg comm.). Holotype: PR; isotype: G-DC. Foster
(1958: 216) recorded this species for Bolivia, under Polymnia, however, it is only known from Chile and Peru. Although
Robinson (1978: 49) cited Chile, Ecuador and Peru, he later (2006: 109-110)
indicated that material referable to this taxon was either S. fruticosus (Benth.) H. Rob. or S. pyramidalis (Triana) H. Rob. Ò- neither of which are known from
Bolivia. Wells (1965: 156-158) treated four species in the Polymnia glabrata complex, and it is
likely that material referable to this name by Foster is actually Smallanthus parviceps.

... in der Landessprache Jaccon gennant, ... [Warszewicz s.n., s. dat.] Waszewicz clearly collected this taxon in
the Sorata area of La Paz, before June 1852. The top set may well have been
deposited in B. Note: Whilst not mentioned by Robinson (2006: 115), it is quite
likely that this name belongs in synonymy here, especially because of the
reference to the common name - Jaccon.
