Jaltomata werffii is a plant species endemic to the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador. The epithet was spelled "werfii" in the original publication, but was corrected to "werffii" later, per Article 60.1 of the Code.McNeill et al. (eds). 2012 International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Melbourne Code). Koeltz Scientific Books. The single "f" was a typographical error, as the plant was named in honor of Henk van der Werff.D'Arcy, W. 1982a. Jaltomata werfii (Solanaceae), a new species from the Archipelago de Colon (Galápagos Islands). Phytologia 52: 9-10.D'Arcy, W. 1982b. Jaltomata werffii: A Correction. Phytologia 52: 230
