Abstract

DALSTROM, Stig  and  HIGGINS, Wesley E.. A new small-flowered natural Odontoglossum hybrid(Orchidaceae: Oncidiinae) from Ecuador. Lankesteriana [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.1, pp.15-20. ISSN 1409-3871.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/lank.v19i1.36899.

A new small-flowered natural Odontoglossum hybrid from northwestern Ecuador is described and illustrated with a line drawing and a photograph. The novelty is compared with its sympatric parent species, Odontoglossum armatum and O. mirandum. The flower of the new natural hybrid has shorter erect lateral liplobes compared to those for O. mirandum, but distinctly longer erect lateral lip-lobes compared to those for O. armatum, which are basically lacking altogether. The taxonomic status of the variable O. mirandum is briefly discussed.

Keywords : Ecuador; new hybrid; Odontoglossum; Orchidaceae; Oncidiinae.
