On the other hand, P. cornejoi is only known to inhabit the interior of mangroves at northwestern Ecuador (REMACAM, province of Esmeraldas) (Fig. 5), and the adjacent mangroves of southwestern Colombia (Campana, Department of Nariño), in the wet forest life zone. It may also occur nearby in the terra firme forest of Choco.

Orchidaceae is one of the most threatened families of vascular plants in the world, and in recent years, species distribution
models (SDM) have been used as a tool to inform the conservation status of several species. However, the usefulness of SDM depends
on appropriate knowledge of the use and limitations of these tools, otherwise there is a risk...
Lepanthes is one of the most species-rich genera of orchids in the Neotropics, with most of the species found in medium to high elevation forests and few species in lowlands. We describe and illustrate Lepanthes osaensis, a new species from the very wet lowland forest of Península de Osa, Costa Rica. It is similar to Lepanthes cuspidata but differs...
Lectotypification of Bulbophyllum crassipes is discussed along with its taxonomy and distribution. Detailed notes on its taxonomic history, phenology, and conservation status through red list assessment is also presented.

Se describe e ilustra una nueva especie del género Platystele del noroeste de Ecuador. La nueva especie, Platystele finleyae, pertenece al grupo morfológico informal “pubescens”, y es similar a P. ximenae ya que posee flores amplias con sépalos y pétalos pubescentes, pero se distingue fácilmente por las flores de color bermellón a vinaceo (vs. amarillo, teñido de púrpura en la mitad basal) y pétalos largamente ciliados (vs. microscópicamente pubescentes en P. ximenae). Platystele finleyae se encuentra cerca de la Reserva Dracula, y lleva su nombre en honor a Elizabeth Finley Broaddus, quien inspiró a mucha gente, especialmente a los jóvenes, a trabajar en la conservación del medio ambiente. Además, se proporciona información sobre su distribución, hábitat y estado de conservación.
