- The illustration in the protologue of Hechtia pitcairniifolia, designated as the lectotype of that name. —See Smith & Downs 1979 p. 1712
- The illustration in the protologue of Hechtia pitcairniifolia (= Fascicularia pitcairniifolia), designated as the lectotype of that name by Smith & Downs ( 1979), makes clear that the species belongs to the genus Ochagavia. Both the dimension of the leaves given in the protologue and the lectotype indicate that F. pitcairniifolia is with some certainty conspecific with 0. litoralis. —See Zizka et al. 2002 p. 32: 340-343
