Abstract
Description
Se describe e ilustra Lepanthes gerardensis, de la parte central norte de Costa Rica. Es semejante a L. ancylopetala Dressler de México, de la cual difiere en el hábito menor, hojas pecioladas con láminas anchamente elípticas y forma del labelo diferente. Parece ser una epífita de ramitas, especializada en ramas terminales delgadas.
Lepanthes gerardensis from north-central Costa Rica is described and illustrated. It is most simi- lar to the Mexican L. ancylopetala Dressler, from which it differs in shorter habit, petiolate leaves with broadly elliptic blades, and different lip shape. It appears to be a specialized twig-epiphyte.
