Abstract

DALSTROM, Stig. An attractive new but rarely seen odontoglossum (Orchidaceae: oncidiinae) from Ecuador. Lankesteriana [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.1, pp.51-58. ISSN 1409-3871.

A new species of Odontoglossum from a limited area in western Ecuador is described, illustrated with a line drawing and color photographs, and compared with apparently closely related species, which are illustrated with color photographs. The new species differs from them all by a combination of features, such as the limited geographic distribution, frequently purple mottled pseudobulbs, a broadly pandurate lip lamina and widely spreading purple striped callus keels on the lip.

Keywords : new species; Cymbidieae; Epidendroideae; Ecuador.
