Abstract

Cranichis crenatifolia Kolan. & Szlach. sp. nova (Orchidaceae) from the Colombian department of Putumayo is described and illustrated. It can be easily distinguished from all other members of the Pleioneura group in Cranichis by crenate and undulate leaf margins and hairy petals. It also differs from the somewhat similar C. atrata by having an obovate vs. an elliptic-ovate lip. An updated identification key is provided to the Colombian species in the Pleioneura group of Cranichis.
