Abstract
Recent field expeditions to the Andes and herbarium research resulted in the discovery of a new species of Drymonia (Gesneriaceae). Drymonia tomentosa J.L.Clark & Clavijo is described from the western Andean slopes of northern Ecuador and southern Colombia. The new species is differentiated from other congeners by the presence of a tomentose indumentum on the stems, stout shoots, broadly oblong leaves, and calyx lobes with broadly rounded apices. Based on IUCN guidelines, a preliminary conservation status is assigned as Least Concern (LC).
期刊介绍：
Since 1931, Brittonia, assuming the broadest possible definition of the field of systematic botany, has been an important outlet for the publication of original research articles on anatomy, botanical history, chemotaxonomy, morphology, paleobotany, phylogenetic systematics, taxonomy, and phytogeography. Each issue contains articles by the staff of The New York Botanical Garden and outside contributors, book reviews, and announcements.
