- TWO NOVELTIES IN GENUS PLATYSTELE (ORCHIDACEAE: PLEUROTHALLIDINAE) FROM COSTA RICA Adam P. Karremans Diego Bogarín Biología lueriana taxonomy new species Platystele carl Platystele jane Two new species of Platystele allied to the P. oxyglossa complex are described from Costa Rica. Platystele carl-lueriana can be distinguished from P. catiensis and P. oxyglossa by the compact inÀorescence that barely exceeds the leaf, from P. pedicellaris by the large plants with long leaves and small Àowers, and from P. tausensis by the yellowish sepals and petals ( vs . purple stained) and the minutely glandular ( vs. apically hirsute) lip. The second species, Platystele jane-lueriana, can be easily distinguished by the glabrous Àowers, and the conspicuously inÀated, bulbous lip, with an incurved apex. Among the other members of the complex, it is most closely resembles P. pedicellaris in the compact inÀorescence that is subequal to the leaves, but is distinguished by tail-less sepals and the linear-ligulate petals. With these additions, the total number of Costa Rican Platystele reaches twenty species. 2017 artículo científico 1409-3871 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=44353160009 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=443 Lankesteriana International Journal on Orchidology application/pdf Universidad de Costa Rica Lankesteriana International Journal on Orchidology (Costa Rica) Num.2 Vol.17
