[Botany • 2020] Acianthera villahermosae (Orchidaceae, Pleurothallidinae) • A New Species of Acianthera from the Cordillera Central of Colombia


  Acianthera villahermosae Sierra-Ariza, Rinc.-González & Karremans

in Rincón-González, Sierra-Ariza & Karremans, 2020. 

Acianthera Scheidweiler (1842: 292), a genus historically placed under the synonymy of Pleurothallis Brown (1813: 211), was reinstated by Pridgeon & Chase (2001) and redefined on the basis of molecular studies by Pridgeon et al. (2001). Additional DNA-based phylogenetic reconstructions, using broader sets of Acianthera species, resulted in further refinements in the circumscription of genus (Chiron et al. 2012, Karremans & Rincón-González 2015, Karremans et al. 2016).
