    - [P.G. Lorentz & G.H.E. Hieronymus 652 (30 August 1873; GOET [GOET009555 / 760529 / 403930^{(BioCASe, GBIF, JSTOR)}]; Isotypes: CORD [CORD00005833^{(GBIF, JSTOR)}], G [G00370553 (39281/1)^{(GBIF, JSTOR)}]).]
      - Type locality "Argentina. Prov. Salta: Luna Muerta, entre Dragones y Orán" fide Espinar (2013: 604).

    - Note: Hunziker (1960) treats both Lorentz & Hieronymus 652 and Balansa 2540 as cotypes [= syntypes], but Espinar (2013) recognizes only the former one as type, regarding the latter as a paratype while the protologue is "Tarija, ad fl. Bermeja pr. Luna muerte [= near Bermejo River near Luna Muerte]" and cites only Balansa 2540.
- Pterogyne nitens f. parvifolia Chodat & Hassl., Bull. Herb. Boissier, sér. 2, 4: 563 (1904); not accepted by Peña-Chocarro & al. (2010: 120) [cited as Pterogyne nitens]
