“…Pleurothallidinae Lindl., with over 12,000 names published and around 5,100 currently accepted species, is the largest orchid subtribe worldwide (Karremans 2016). Lepanthes Sw. is one of the most diverse genera of the subtribe, and the estimated number range between 1,100 and 1,200 species (Larsen et al 2018;Baquero et al 2019;Bogarín et al 2020), accounting for more than 20% of the species (Karremans 2016). Lepanthes is restricted to the Neotropics, ranging from the Antilles and southern Mexico through the Andes south to Bolivia, with a few species known from Brazil (Luer and Thoerle 2012;Larsen 2014).…”

“…Lepanthes is restricted to the Neotropics, ranging from the Antilles and southern Mexico through the Andes south to Bolivia, with a few species known from Brazil (Luer and Thoerle 2012;Larsen 2014). The largest number of species is concentrated in the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador and Peru (Damian and Larsen 2017;Bogarín et al 2020), but an important number of species is also distributed in Costa Rica, Panama (Salazar and Soto-Arenas 1996;Bogarín et al 2020). In Ecuador, this genus includes about 350 species, of which 240 are considered endemic to the country (Dodson and Luer 2011;Baquero et al 2019).…”

Three new species of Lepanthes from Ecuador are described and illustrated. These additions to the Ecuadorean flora were recorded in evergreen montane forest and páramo as part of three different research projects conducted during the last five years (2016–2021). Lepanthes oro-lojaensis was discovered in the southwest of El Oro province and is similar to L. jimburae, differing mainly in the much smaller plants, inflorescences and floral parts. Lepanthes microprosartima from the western slopes of Pichincha volcano in northern Ecuador resembles L. obandoi but differs in the coloration of the leaves, the inflorescence that are shorter than the leaves and the smaller floral appendix. Lepanthes caranqui, found in eastern Pichincha and Imbabura, is most similar to L. pachychila but differs from it in its much larger plants and different shape of the petals and the floral appendix. Preliminary assessments of the conservation status of the three taxonomic novelties are provided, using the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria.

“…Despite that numerous botanical expeditions have been carried out in different locations of Costa Rica, there are still little explored areas where new or unrecorded species of orchids may be harbored (Bogarín 2011, Bogarín et al 2020, Chinchilla et al 2020b, Fernández et al 2014, Karremans & Díaz-Morales 2016, Karremans et al 2012. To update floristic inventories and contribute to the knowledge of Malaxis, we have carried out botanical explorations in these less explored areas to collect, document, and identify their species (Chinchilla 2019).…”

We describe and illustrate a new species and a new record of Malaxis from the lower montane and montane forests of Costa Rica. Taxonomic descriptions, illustrations, distribution maps, and conservation assessments are provided for each species. Malaxis excentrica sp. nov. is morphologically similar to Malaxis simillima, from which it can be distinguished by having a single leaf per sympodial unit, shorter, obovate, erect petals parallel to the column, the lip with triquetrous, acute, convex apical margin and the disc cavity divided by a costa. Malaxis pittieri is formally recorded for the flora of Costa Rica; Costa Rican specimens of this species were previously confused with Malaxis majanthemifolia. A lectotype for Microstylis pittieri is formally designated.
