DNA barcoding the floras of biodiversity hotspots
(2008-02-26)
DNA barcoding is a technique in which species identification is performed by using DNA sequences from a small fragment of the genome, with the aim of contributing to a wide range of ecological and conservation ...
A new species of Eurystyles (Orchidaceae: Spiranthinae) from Costa Rica
(2020)
Eurystyles comprises about 23 species ranging from Mexico to northernArgentina. Six species are recognized in Mexico and Central America and three in Costa Rica. A new species, named E. uxoris, is here described and ...
Brachionium kirbyi, a new species honoring the founder of the “Bosque de Paz” Orchid Project in Costa Rica
(2015)
A new species of Brachionidium from Costa Rica is described and illustrated. Brachionidium kirbyi is most similar to Brachionidium dressleri Luer. It can be recognized by the erect plants, up to 14 cm tall, often branching, ...
Beyond the various contrivances by which orchids are pollinated: global patterns in orchid pollination biology
(2023)
Orchidaceae show remarkable diversity in pollination strategies, but how these strategies vary globally is not entirely clear. To identify regions and taxa that are data-rich and lend themselves to rigorous analyses or are ...
Illustrations and studies in Neotropical Orchidaceae: the Specklinia brighamii group (Pleurothallidinae) in Costa Rica
(2020)
This paper focuses on the taxonomy and systematics of the species related to Specklinia brighamii and S. simmleriana in Costa Rica. The group also includes S. alexii, recorded for the first time for the country, S. acrisepala, ...

A New Platystele (Orchidaceae: Plaurothallidinae) from Central Costa Rica
(2010)
Se describe e ilustra una nueva especie de Platystele, P. tausensis de Costa Rica. Es similar a P. propinqua pero difiere en las plantas y flores más pequeñas con sépalos más cortos, los pétalos y sépalos ciliados, fimbriados ...
A new Maxillariella (Orchidaceae: Maxillariinae) from Costa Rica and Panama

Maxillariella prostrata, a new species from Costa Rica and Panama is described and illustrated. This species is similar to M. acervata but differs in having a prostrate habit, elliptic leaves up to 2 cm long, pseudobulbs ...
A new Ophidion (Orchidaceae, Pleurothallidinae) from the Pacific lowlands of Colombia and the unresolved phylogenetic position of Phloeophila s.l.
(2023)
A species new to science of a miniature orchid, endemic to the humid Pacific lowland, Municipality of Buenaventura (Valle del Cauca, Colombia), is described and illustrated. Ophidion erectilabrum sp. nov. is morphologically ...
A just overtime discovery: another new species of Echinosepala (Orchidaceae) from Costa Rica
(2022-08-13)
Echinosepala truncata is described as new to science and illustrated from the holotype. It is compared
with E. tomentosa, from which it differs by the sparsely lanate ovary, the narrowly obovate, apically rounded synsepal, ...
Hundreds of nuclear and plastid loci yield novel insights into orchid relationships
(2021)
PREMISE: The inference of evolutionary relationships in the species- rich family Orchidaceae has hitherto relied heavily on plastid DNA sequences and limited taxon sampling. Previous studies have provided a robust plastid ...
