Abstract
BAQUERO, Luis E.; HIRTZ, Alexander and ITURRALDE, Gabriel. Scaphosepalum tarantula (orchidaceae: pleurothallidinae), a new species from Ecuador. Lankesteriana [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.3, pp.231-237. ISSN 1409-3871. http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/lank.v18i3.35605.
A new species, Scaphosepalum tarantula, is described. It is recognized by the medium-sized plants with grey-green leaves suffused with red-brown to purple stains at the petioles; densely fimbriated, red-brown to sanguine flowers, spiky tails of the lateral sepals and a dark sanguine, wingless lip. It is here compared to Scaphosepalum fimbriatum with which it shares similarities.
Keywords : new species; Pichincha; Scaphosepalum fimbriatum; sympatric species.
