"U. sandwithii" was originally described and published by Peter Taylor in 1967 for the "Botany of the Guyana Highland" series, though it was probably collected as early as 1851 by Heinrich Wullschlägel in Suriname. It had also been collected by George Samuel Jenman in 1881 in Guyana, but was overlooked until Taylor presented his work in 1967.Taylor, Peter. (1989).
