Remarks

doi:10.3897/phytokeys.203.83529 Etymology: the specific epithet honours Beryl B. Simpson (1942–), professor emeritus in the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of Texas at Austin, who, apart from her important contributions to the knowledge of Polylepis (Simpson 1979, 1986), has conducted remarkable research on tropical angiosperms.
