Here we report the new species Telipogon huancavelicanus and provide updates to the description of T. deuterocuscoensis. Telipogon huancavelicanus is similar to T. bennettii but differs by the oblanceolate petals, a basally subpandurate labelum with two divergent auriculae, and column with three dense tuffs of subtubular setae with ramified apices. Illustrations, habitat information and distribution are provided for both miniature Telipogon species. Additional comments on other miniature Telipogon species are also provided.
Andinia wayqechensis, from the Peruvian cloud forest, is proposed as a new species. The species is similar to Andinia pentamytera, but differs in the leaves with a tridentate apex (vs. a denticulate apex); and flowers with oblong, shortly acuminate sepals with irregularly lacerate margins (vs. narrowly ovate-triangular, long-acuminate sepals with entire margins); petals with irregularly lacerate margins and short-acuminate apices (vs. with entire margins and long-acuminate apices); and a labellum with the erect lateral lobes curving above and largely concealing the column (vs. below the exposed column). A description, illustrations, information about its habitat and distribution, and a key to the species of Andinia are provided.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
