Abstract

A new species from Bolivia of the genus Stellilabium Salisb. (Telipogonae, Orchidaceae), S. kukwae Szlach. & Mytnik, is described and illustrated. It is morphologically most similar to S. pampatamboense Dodson & R.Vásquez, but it is distinct in having densely, entirely ciliate petals, scarcely ciliate lip laminae, and furculate hairs covering the gynostemium.
