DRYMONIA ATROPURPUREA (GESNERIACEAE), A NEW SPECIES FROM NORTHWESTERN SOUTH AMERICA

摘要

Recent expeditions to the western Andean slopes of Colombia and Ecuador and preliminary work on a revision of Drymonia (Gesneriaceae) have resulted in the discovery of a new species. The new species, Drymonia atropurpurea Clavijo J.L. Clark, is distinguished from other congeners by large (up to 46 cm long) elliptic to oblong leaves, dark purple bullate calyces, and angulate (bent) corolla tubes.
