Burmeistera zamorensis(Campanulaceae, Lobelioideae), a New Species from Southern Ecuador

A new species of Pleurothallis (Orchidaceae: Pleurothallidinae) in subsection Macrophyllae-Fasciculatae with a unique, highly reduced, morphologically distinct labellum

“…The only thing remotely comparable being the very small, highly modified lips of the P. crocodiliceps species complex of subgenus Ancipitia (Wilson et al 2017a(Wilson et al , 2017b(Wilson et al , 2018. However, in 2015 an undescribed species of Pleurothallis was collected from Podocarpus National Park during an intensive survey of poorly collected areas of Ecuador (Muchhala & Pérez 2015, Pérez et al 2016, Orozco et al 2017. The species was brought to the attention of Wilson because of the minute lip and the remarkable, though superficial, resemblance to P. kaynagata; the difference being that, based on the cordate leaves and bilobed stigma, the new species was most likely attributable to subsection Macrophyllae-Fasciculatae, not section Abortivae.…”

Two New Species of <I>Burmeistera</I> (Campanulaceae: Lobelioideae) from the Cordillera de Talamanca of Costa Rica and Panama, with a Key to the Central American Species

“…The ongoing floristic treatment of Colombia alone has resulted in the description of at least 10 new species and several range extensions (Garzón Garzón Venegas et al 2014;Garzón Venegas et al 2013). Additionally, recent research on the pollination biology of Burmeistera has resulted in the description of new species (Muchhala and Lammers 2005;Muchhala and Pérez 2015) and a better understanding of the ecology and evolution of the group (Muchhala and Potts 2007;Muchhala 2003Muchhala , 2006aMuchhala , 2006bMuchhala , 2007.…”
