Abstract

A new species of Phragmipedium, P. andreettae, is described and illustrated from northwestern Ecuador and its affinities are discussed. The new species is closely allied to P. fischeri, from which it differs by the narrow leaves, the pale rose to white flowers, the elliptic to obovate petals with reflexed margins, the reflexed margin of the dorsal sepal, the narrower and pale rose lip, and the longer than broad and bifid staminode.
