Description:
Description: Shrub; stems angular to terete, cinereous, densely pubescent with pale spreading haris to 0.3 mm long. Leaves thick coriaceous, lanceolate-oblong, sometimes falcate, 10-22 x 3-7 cm, basally cuneate or truncate, apically acute or acuminate, marginally entire and slightly revolute; 5-7-plinerved or pinnate-veined with the lateral nerves oriented in the basal half, the lateral nerves (3-4 per side) ascending and with the midrib impressed above and prominent beneath, reticulate veinlets nearly plane on both sides, essentially glabrous above, puberulous beneath when young, glabrate; petioles subcylindric, rugose, 5-15 mm long, pubescent, glabrate. Inflorescence axillary, racemose, 8-20-flowered; rachis subterete, thick, 2-8 cm long, pubescent when young, glabrescent; pedicels subterete, 20-40 mm long, densely puberulous or subglabrous (hairs probably glandular fimbriae); floral bracts deciduous; bracteoles basal, triangular, acute, ca. 2 mm long. Flowers with calyx 8-12 mm long; hypanthium short-cylindric or subspherical, pilose, 4-6 mm long and 5-6 mm diam.; limb spreading, 4-6 mm long; lobes 4 or 5 (rarely 3), often in a state of fusion, ovate, apiculate, 2-4 x 5-6 mm; corolla subcylindric, carnose, 20-28 mm long and ca. 7 mm diam., the lobes triangular, acute, 3-4 mm long, reflexed at antheis; stamens 12-14 mm long; filaments distinct, 4-6 mm long, distally pilose at margins; connectives alternately 2-spurred (spurs acute, ca. 1.3 mm across), the alternate connectives slightly broader; thecae 7-8.5 mm long; tubules elongate-conical, 3-4 mm long; style exserted; stigma truncate. Berry subspherical, glabrous, to 15 mm diam.
Distribution: Endemic to Colombia.
Type: Colombia. Cundinamarca: Bogotá, Pasca, 2500-2700 m, Triana 4333/19 (holotype, B?).
