Description:
Description: Epiphitic shrub; mature branches terete, glabrate, dark brown to blackish-brown, the epidermis cracking in longitudinal strips; twigs subterete, striate, muricate, tan when dry, hispid with yellowish-brown hairs 0.8-1 mm long. Leaves subcoriaceous, ovate-lanceolate to oblong-lanceolate, 3-4.5 x 1-1.5 cm, basally rounded, apically acuminate, margins slightly revolute, somewhat glaucous and essentially glabrous above, pilose beneath, ciliate; 3(-5)-plinerved with midrib impressed above and raised beneath, secondary nerves weakkly raised on both surfaces; petioles terete, rugose, hispid, 1.5-3 mm long and 1.5 mm in diam. Inflorescence ca. 10-15-flowered, the flowers restricted to distal 1/2 of inflorescence; rachis densely pilose, 1-2.3 cm long and 1.5-2 mm in basal diam. becoming 3.5-5 mm diam. distally; floral bracts, oblong to obovate, 14-16 x 7-8 mm, apically obtuse or rounded, ciliate, both surfaces pilose and provided especially at base with spherical globular glands ca. 0.1 mm in diam.; bracteoles seemingly lacking. Flowers: calyx basically glabrous, 6-7 mm long; hypanthium cylindric-campanulate, 2-3 mm long, obscured by a dense covering of spherical, globular glands 0.1-0.2 mm in diam.; limb campanulate, 4 mm long, with scattered globular glands; lobes triangular, obtuse, 1.3-1.5 mm long, sparsely ciliate, the margins with 1-4 globular glands per side; sinuses rounded, sparsely ciliate; corolla cylindric but tapering distally, glabrous, 13 mm long and 5-6 mm in diam., lobes triangular, obtuse, ca. 1-1.5 mm long; stamens alternately 7 mm and 8 mm long; filaments connate into a tube 3 mm long, the filaments themselves glabrous, alternately 3-3.5 mm and 4 mm long; anthers alternately 4.2-4.5 mm and 3.5-3.8 mm long; thecae relatively smooth, 1.5-2 mm long; tubules dihiscing by broad clefts ca. 1.5 mm long; style 13 mm long. Berry not seen.
Distribution: Endemic to Colombia and known only from the type collection.
Conservation Status: Rare and endangered.
Type: Colombia. Antioquia (formerly Bolívar): Cordillera Occidental, below Páramo Chaquiro, 2800-3100 m, 24 Feb 1918 (fl), Pennell 4301 (holotype, NY, photo NY neg. 9694).
