Summary
Kolanowska M., Szlachetko D. L. & Medina Trejo R. 2016. A new species of Telipogon (Orchidaceae-Vandoideae-Telipogoninae) from Colombia. – Phyton (Horn, Austria) 56(2): 201–208, with 5 figures.

A new species of Telipogon, T. sibundoyensis Szlach., Kolan. & Medina Tr. (Orchidaceae-Vandoideae-Telipogoninae), is described and illustrated. So far, the new entity is known from few localities of the Colombian Andes. The novelty resembles T. andinus Dodson from which it differs by the presence of a prominent, thick, basal lip rim, which is densely glandular ciliate and by the gynostemium covered by setose hairs of various length along the clinandrium margins at the back of the anther.
