Description

12. Myoxanthus dasyllis Luer & Hirtz (1992: 28‒29)

TYPE:— ECUADOR. Morona Santiago: Cordillera del Cutucú, between Mendez and Morona, 950 m, 17 Jan 1989, Luer et al. 13971 (holotype: MO!).

Distribution: — Ecuador.

Notes:— According to Luer & Hirtz (1992), the flowers of this species are distinguished by their densely redspiculate floral bracts, ovary and sepals that are borne by short peduncles (actually pseudopeduncles) usually less than three millimeters long, petals thickened and microscopically erose or cellular-capitate and ligulate lip with a pair or denticulate carinae. The most similar species is M. herzogii, which shares most of the same diagnostic features except for the denticulate carinae of the lip.
