As part of the revision of Philonotis in South America, a sample collected in Chile perfectly matched the type specimen of P. brevifolia Herzog. This species described from Chile was considered conspecific with P. krausei (Müll. Hal.) Broth. by Seki (1974), but is resurrected here on the basis of the leaves shape, apex, margin, laminal cells shape and papillae position. A lectotype is designated for P. brevifolia, and a detailed and illustrated description is provided, including the sexual traits of male plants, amending the original description.
