Description:
Description: Stem glaucous, very brittle when fresh. Leaves coriaceous, very hard and brittle when fresh, (6-)10-14.5(-18) x (1.2-)2-3(-3.5) cm, base cuneate, margin slightly revolute, moderately hispid on both surfaces with hairs 1-1.5 mm long; 3-plinerved; petiole 6-8 mm long and 1(-2) mm diam. Inflorescence bracts 25-32 x 15-24 mm; rachis 1-1.4 cm long; floral bract 30-36 x 15-24 mm, margin densely glandular with spherical, sessile glands ca. 0.2 mm diam; pedicel 5-8 mm long and 1.5 mm diam.; bracteoles 4-7 mm long. Flowers with hypanthium 2-3 mm long; limb 6-7 mm long; lobes 1.5-2.5 mm long; corolla 27-30 mm long; stamen 23-27 mm long; filaments alternately 3.2-4.2 mm and 9.2-10.2 mm long; anthers alternately 21.5-23 mm and 16-18 mm long; thecae alternately 12-13 mm and 9-10 mm long.
Distribution: Ecuador and Peru; rainforest to premontane cloud forest at 600-1230 m altitude.
Conservation Status: Known from only two collections, and should be considered Rare and endangered.
Type: Ecuador. Pastaza: Puyo-Puerto Napo road, 14-18 km N of Puyo, 1000-1025 m, 25 Apr 1978 (fl), Luteyn & Lebrón-Luteyn 5824 (holotype: NY, photo NY neg. 10860; isotypes: AAU, CAS, COL, E, F, GH, L, MEXU, MO, QCA, US).
