Summary:Summary Telipogon leisb erthvelezii Iturralde, M.M.Jiménez & H.Garzón, a new species of orchid, discovered in the Cordillera del Cóndor in southern Ecuador, is described and illustrated and its morphological similarities to other species are discussed. The new species is morphologically most similar to T. jostii (Dodson) N.H.Williams & Dressler but differs in the ellipsoid-obovoid petals with a bilobed base, the lip having a deltoid midlobe and dolabriform lateral lobes and a lower density of setae on the column. It is currently known from a single locality only, occurring as an epiphyte in lower montane forest.
