if there is another contrasting variety that can be added, regardless of whatever treatment POWO accepts, please add it or write a note here for it to be put up. otherwise, this should be merged.

Looks like it should be safe to merge. All the described vars appear to be synonyms of other accepted species.

var. alata -> M. rimachii
var. congesta -> M. congesta
var. cynanchifolia -> M. cynanchifolia
var. hirsuta -> M. micrantha
var. intermedia -> M. cynanchifolia
var. microptera -> M. microptera
var. minima -> M. minima
var. periplocifolia -> M. periplocifolia
var. pilcomayensis -> M. pilcomayensis
var. pubescens -> M. cordifolia
var. rhodotricha -> M. cordifolia
var. sagittifolia -> M. periplocifolia
var. subcymosa -> M. micrantha
var. umbellifera -> M. micrantha
var. villosa -> M. micrantha

There aren't that many subspecies, either:
ssp. cynanchifolia -> M. cynanchifolia
ssp. paraguayensis -> M. periplocifolia
ssp. periplocifolia -> M. periplocifolia
