Year: 2016
Type: article
Abstract: We document Lepidoblepharis conolepis from El Cielito, Carchi province, northern Ecuador. This record, the first record for Carchi province, represents a northward range extension of 90 km from the previously known occurences. All known occurrences of L. conolepis, including our new record, are restricted to the western slopes of the Ecuadorian Andes at sites within fragmented natural forest habitats.
