After his first trip to Colombia in 1932, José Cuatrecasas described 19 novelties in the Ericaceae based on his collections, including seven new species, one new variety, one new form, and ten new combinations. Following the examination of all relevant Cuatrecasas specimens, field books, and images, the nomenclatural and taxonomic status of the novelties is reviewed and re-evaluated. Seven new lectotypes and one new neotype are presented, while the holotypes for five species are confirmed.
