Remarks
Eponymy: We are pleased to name this species for our colleague Dr. Henk van der Werff (MO), collector of the type. Henk van der Werff is well-known for his work on the Flora del Río Cenepa, Amazonas, Perú, and as a specialist of Lauraceae, which are especially diverse at mid- elevations in the montane neotropics, such as where he discovered B. werffii.
