Nomenclatural note
According to Blanco (2016: 163), "The later isonym Williamriedelia S.Blanco & C.E.Wetzel has no nomenclatural status and is to be regarded as a bibliographic error of citation to be corrected to cite the earlier isonym. Therefore, the new combinations in Williamriedelia proposed by Blanco & Wetzel (2016) are validly published." - (11 September 2016) - M.D. Guiry
