Scaphosepalum zieglerae is described from a small area near Chical in northern Ecuador. It is distinguished by the large plant, waxy yellow flowers densely spotted with brown red to blood-red, spiky tails of the lateral sepals and a dark blood-red, wingless lip. It is here compared to Scaphosepalum beluosum with which it shares most similarities, a...

... and in neighboring Colombia will lead to the discovery of new populations of S. zieglerae. Scaphosepalum zieglerae is recognized among the species of Scaphosepalum by a unique combination of characters: the large, long petiolate, dark-green leaves, the caudate leaf apex and, specially, the flowers with spiky tails and dark blood-red colored lip ( Fig. 1, 2 and 3). Scaphosepalum zieglerae looks superficially similar to S. beluosum, mainly because of the long petiolate plants and lateral inflorescences. In addition, it seems that S. zieglerae and S. ophidion could be related because they share long flexuous racemes with conspicuous acuminate bracts, fimbriate tails of the synsepal and the ...

In addition, it seems that S. zieglerae and S. ophidion could be related because they share long flexuous racemes with conspicuous acuminate bracts, fimbriate tails of the synsepal and the oblong-subpandurate lip ( Fig. 1, 2). Scaphosepalum zieglerae shares with S. fimbriatum Luer & Hirtz the fimbriated sepaline tails, but it differs from the latter species by the size of the plants, the shape and length of the leaves, and the size and general morphology of the ...

A new species, Scaphosepalum luannae, is described, and new records for Scaphosepalum anchoriferum from Ecuador are presented. Scaphosepalum luannae is superficially similar to S. swertiifolium but it differs in the dark green leaves, conspicuously nerved at the abaxial side and shiny at the adaxial side, the sub-quadrate petals with a basal lobe at the columnar margin and the lip with a truncate base without lobes with an oblong and flat hypochile. Scaphosepalum luannae and S. anchoriferum were discovered growing sympatrically in a poorly explored cloud forest from north-western Ecuador, near the border with Colombia.

... There are more than 50 species of Scaphosepalum Pfitzer (Luer 1988, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1998a, 1998b, 2000, 2009, Pridgeon et al. 2001, Endara et al. 2011, Chase et al. 2015, Valenzuela Gamarra 2015, Karremans 2016, Baquero 2017. Scaphosepalum species are recognized from other members in the Pleurothallidinae mainly by the osmophores at the apex of the lateral sepals, sepaline tails of variable length, and the non-resupinate flowers (Luer 1988, Pridgeon et al. 2001, Endara et al. 2011. ...

A new species, Miconia yeseniae, is described and illustrated. The species is part of the Amblyarrhena section and is distinguished from others of the genus by the large (2–2.5 cm long) pink petals, the well-developed outer calyx teeth (4.9–5.1 mm long) and the 10-angular ovary. The most related species are Miconia glandulistyla, M. floribunda, M. codonostigma, M. glandulistyla and M. grandiflora. The new species reaches 8 m in height and is known only from the type locality, on the slopes of Cerro Golondrinas, on the Andean flanks of the northwest of Ecuador, in the humid forest.
