Introduction
In the publication of Sarcoglottis wernerherzogii Collantes, Edquén & Salazar (Collantes et al. 2023), the authors and editors inadvertently omitted a comparative table between Sarcoglottis wernerherzogii and other confirmed species of Sarcoglottis in Peru. Here, we present the comparative Table 1.
Table 1 Comparison of Sarcoglottis wernerherzogii with S. fasciculata and species of the genus verified as present in Peru (see Collantes et al. 2023).
