Abstract

Telipogon heinrichsii from the paramo of the western slope of the Central Andean Cordillera in Colombia is proposed as a new species. The new taxon is similar to T. puruantensis and T. vollesii, but differs by the triquetrous peduncle of the inflorescence, a widely ovate labellum, and the column completely surrounded by uniformly distributed setae. A description, illustrations, and notes on the ecology and distribution are provided.

Abstract

With over 800 species, Lepanthes Swartz (1799: 85) is one of the largest genera in Pleurothallidinae (Orchidaceae). It ranges from southern Mexico to Bolivia and northern Brazil. A high level of endemism is observed in the Andes of Colombia and Ecuador (Pridgeon 2005). Despite the large number of species described by Luer (1986, 1994, 1996, 2009), several new Lepanthes have been described by other authors (Catling & Catling 1988, Tremblay & Ackerman 1993, Ortiz 1998, Pupulin & Bogarin 2004, Pupulin et al . 2010).
