Pleurothallidinae is the most diverse Neotropical subtribe in Orchidaceae and is almost exclusively pollinated by insects of the order Diptera. Dracula, a genus of 138 species in the Pleurothallidinae, is known to attract Zygothrica (Drosophilidae) flies, common macrofungi visitors, by imitating fungal volatile compounds and lamellae. Interestingly...
The fourth release of the series "New Species and Records of Orchidaceae from Costa Rica" documents and illustrates 17 taxa of the Costa Rican orchid flora. The new species records belong to the subtribes Pleurothallidinae (9 spp.), Maxillariinae (3 spp.), and Oncidiinae (2 spp.), including the description of two new species in Pleurothallis and Te...

Orchids constitute one of the most spectacular radiations of flowering plants. However, their origin, spread across the globe, and hotspots of speciation remain uncertain due to the lack of an up‐to‐date phylogeographic analysis.
We present a new Orchidaceae phylogeny based on combined high‐throughput and Sanger sequencing data, covering all five s...
What grows where? Knowledge about where to find particular species in nature must have been key to the survival of humans throughout our evolution. Over time, and as people colonised new land masses and habitats, interactions with the local biota led to a wealth of combined traditional and scientific wisdom about the distributions of species and th...
Orchids constitute one of the most spectacular radiations of flowering plants. However, their geographical origin, historical spread across the globe, and hotspots of speciation remain uncertain due to the lack of a broad phylogenomic framework.
⍰ We present a new Orchidaceae phylogeny based on high-throughput and Sanger sequencing datasets, coveri...
A new species of Acianthera from the relict cloud forests of Valle del Cauca, Colombia is described and illustrated. This new species, Acianthera hagsateri, morphologically resembles A. geminicaulina, A. decurrens, and A. erythrogramma, but differs from them by its shorter plants and stems, the elliptic and obtuse smaller leaves, the racemose, 1–3...
This paper focuses on the taxonomy and systematics of the species related to Specklinia brighamii and S. simmleriana in Costa Rica. The group also includes S. alexii, recorded for the first time for the country, S. acrisepala, and two newly described taxa, S. barbelifera and S. tirimbina. The six taxa are described on the basis of living material a...
Icones Colombianae aims to promote broad and unrestricted public access to the scientific knowledge on biodiversity. Through this initiative, the work of different local researchers and orchid enthusiasts is made freely available and easily accessible online to the whole community. The interest that people from the communities where the orchids gro...
Species Orchidacearum is a serial publication. It is published in volumes, freely available online, and peer-reviewed. Icons from any author are received, they may treat any species of the Orchidaceae family, from any country, previously published or not, as long as they comply with the author’s instructions. The main goal of the series is to make...
Masdevallia caudata Lindl. is one of the most striking and commercialized species of the genus. This species is seriously threatened and it has been classified by Calderón et al. (2006) as an endangered species (EN) following IUCN criteria. Masdevallia
caudata is recognized by the rounded, yellowish dorsal sepal, concave and striped with seven to n...
Masdevallia coriacea Lindl. can be found on the hills surrounding Bogota, especially in Usaquen, Guadalupe, Monserrate, Cota, Subachoque, Facatativa and Boyaca, at elevation from 2200 to 3700 m, mostly it is growing terrestrially or lithophytically. This species
is recognized by the thick texture of its coriaceous, leather-like leaves. The lip’s ve...
Se describe e ilustra Masdevallia luerorum del Pacífico sur de Costa Rica. Es similar a M. lata, pero difiere en la infloresencia uniflora, los sépalos más cortos, el tubo sepalino amplio y cilíndrico un mentón más pequeño debajo del pie de la columna, un mentón secundario más corto, una ligera deflexión entre ambos mentones, y el labelo con pliegu...
The phylogenetic relationships within the Acianthera affinity are re-evaluated using Bayesian analyses of nrITS and chloro- plast matK sequence data. Emphasis is made on species from the Antilles, Central America and the Andean South America as those have been less represented in previous studies. Acianthera is retrieved largely monophyletic, but i...
Masdevallia utriculata and M. zahlbruckeri are characterized and illustrated based on living plants from Costa Rica. The species are compared with each other on the basis of their general similar morphology. Their taxonomic status is reviewed.
