During floristic inventories in remnant cloud forests of the Centinela Ridge of the Chocó Region of Ecuador, where less than 7 km of forest patches remain across an area of approximately 500 km, we recently collected a new species in the genus Cuatrec. We describe and illustrate this new species and contrast its morphology with known congeneric species. Due to its small range, threatened habitat and active targeting by loggers, this species is assessed as Endangered under IUCN Criterion B1B2ab(I,ii,iii,v).
在厄瓜多尔乔科地区森蒂内拉山脊残余云雾森林的植物清查过程中，该地区面积约500平方公里，现存森林斑块不足7公里，我们最近采集到了一种新的夸特雷属植物。我们对这个新物种进行了描述和绘图，并将其形态与已知的同属物种进行了对比。由于其分布范围狭小、栖息地受到威胁且受到伐木者的主动 targeted，根据世界自然保护联盟标准B1B2ab（I、ii、iii、v），该物种被评估为濒危物种。 （注：原文中“active targeting by loggers”这里的“targeted”可能有误，推测应该是“targeting” ，翻译为“主动针对” ，但按照要求未修改原文错误直接翻译）
