We report the rediscovery of the Critically Endangered cloud forest herb , not seen since 1985. In 2019 and 2021, was recorded at five sites in the western foothills of the Ecuadorian Andes, 4-25 km from the type locality at the celebrated Centinela ridge. We describe the species' distribution, abundance, habitat and conservation status and offer recommendations for further research and conservation efforts focused on and the small, disjunct forest remnants it occupies.
我们报告了一种极度濒危的云雾森林草本植物的重新发现,该植物自1985年以来便未再被见过。在2019年和2021年,它在厄瓜多尔安第斯山脉西麓的五个地点被记录到,距离著名的森蒂内拉山脊的模式产地4 - 25公里。我们描述了该物种的分布、丰度、栖息地和保护状况,并针对该物种及其所占据的小块分散森林遗迹提出了进一步研究和保护工作的建议。
