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.
We propose the new species Maxillaria bicentenaria from the montane forest of central Peru and provide an amendment of the description of Maxillaria pyhalae. Maxillaria bicentenaria is similar to M. pyhalae but differs by the elliptic to sub-elliptic labellum, the labellum distal half irregularly plicate, the flattened and transversally sub-trapezoidal labellar callus, the campanulate to sub-campanulate protuberance at the labellum apex centre, and the conspicuous carina with a sharp edge towards the top of the anther. Illustrations, pictures, and a distribution map are provided for both Maxillaria species. The differential features of both species are presented and previous misidentified records are discussed. Finally, a comment on the author name of Maxillaria fletcheriana is also 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.
