Dalström, S. 2015. An attractive but rarely seen Odontoglossum (Orchidaceae: Oncidiinae) from Ecuador. Lankesteriana 15(1): 51–58.

Abstract. A new species of Odontoglossum from a limited area in western Ecuador is described, illustrated with a line drawing and color photographs, and compared with apparently closely related species, which are illustrated with color photographs. The new species differs from them all by a combination of features, such as the limited geographic distribution, frequently purple mottled pseudobulbs, a broadly pandurate lip lamina and widely spreading purple striped callus keels on the lip.

Key words: new species, Cymbidieae, Epidendroideae, Ecuador
