However, records on iNaturalist.org suggest that, at least in +Ecuador +, the altitudinal distribution may range between 2000 and +2800 m +. (east: https://ecuador.inaturalist.org/observations/13193062, +2770 m +, west: https:// ecuador.inaturalist.org/observations/53610257, +2700 m +). + + +In +Colombia +, this species is known from a single locality, near the municipality of Arcabuco in the eastern Andes ( +Figure 5 +). This locality suffers a moderate level of anthropic intervention and is very close to trails. Around 13 individuals were found at heights of 1.5–1.7 meters, and another 6 individuals were found much higher on trees covered in thick moss near the riverbank of Río Pomeca ( +Figure 4-A +). Other orchid species found nearby included + +Masdevallia picturata +Reichenbach (1878: 16) + +, + +Cyrtochilum divaricatum +( +Lindley1846: 17 +) +Dalström (2001: 63) + +, and 3 different + +Andinia +(Luer) (1991: 124) + +Luer (2000: 5) +species. + + +In +Ecuador +, the species is known from five locations. On the eastern slope of the Andes, a small population of 7–10 plants of + +Telipogon nigropurpureus + +was found near Cosanga, +Napo province +( +Figure 4-B, F +), growing as epiphytes at heights of + +1.5–2 m + +on branches of + +Andesanthus lepidotus +( +Humboldt & Bonpland 1808: 38 +) +Guimarães & Michelangeli (2019: 948) + +( +Figure 3 A–B +), alongside + +Telipogon alticola +(Dodson & R. Escobar 1998:48) N.H. Williams & Dressler + +in + +Williams +et al. +(2005: 168) + +. A single individual was also found by Fundacion EcoMinga rangers in their +Cerro Candelaria Reserve +, near Baños, +Tungurahua province +( +Figures 4-D, E +); and an additional specimen has been reported by an iNaturalist observer near Baeza, +Napo province +. On the western slope of the Andes, a single plant growing on a fallen branch was found on the edge of the Calacalí–Nanegalito highway, near +El Pahuma Reserve +, +Pichincha province +. Finally, the iNaturalist.org record from the +Siempre Verde Reserve +, +Imbabura province +, shows + +T. nigropurpureus + +( +Figure 4-C +) growing on branches and inflorescences of + +Thibaudia inflata +Luteyn (1996: 299) + +(https:// ecuador.inaturalist.org/observations/53610257; https://www.flickr.com/photos/andreaskay/9834564886). Observed specimens were not exposed to much direct sunlight; on the contrary, they grew in shaded areas ( +Figure 5 +). + + +In +Colombia +, fertile specimens have been observed in January, June, July and September suggesting that the same inflorescence could generate flowers successively for several months. During field observations in September, we found most of the plants in fruits. In +Ecuador +, we have recorded flowering between August and October. + + + + +Conservation status +:—Although the new localities expand the range of distribution of + +Telipogon nigropurpureus + +and three of the localities registered in +Ecuador +are under a conservation model (Cerro Candelaria, Siempre Verde, and Pahuma reserve) the areas where they have been registered present potential threats such as deforestation for the expansion of areas of livestock and crops, as well as the illegal extraction of species ( +Meisel & Woodward 2005 +, + +Noh +et al. +2022 + +). Using the six localities recorded we calculated an area of occupancy (AOO) of +24 km +2 +and an extent of occurrence (EOO) of +61000 km +2 +( +Figure 5 +) with GeoCat ( + +Bachman +et al. +2011 + +). It is important to note that the EOO calculated in this analysis, following the +IUCN (2022) +guidelines, includes habitats where the presence of this species is unlikely, therefore it is inferred that its real extent is even smaller. Considering the potential threats in the AOO and the calculated EOO, we suggest considering + +T. nigropurpureus + +as Vulnerable according to criterion B2ab(i,ii); D2. + + + + +Specimens examined: +— +COLOMBIA +. +Boyacá +:Arcabuco, area of influence of the Pómeca river, near the road Moniquirá-Arcabuco, +2343 m +, +22 Jan 2024 +, +E.Restrepo & A.Rodríguez G 132 +(JBB!). +ECUADOR +. +Napo +: Cosanga, road to Las Caucheras, -00.5839194°, -077.8752417°, +2094 m +, +28 Sep 2023 +, +G.

When + +Williams +et al. +(2005) + +merged + +Stellilabium + +within + +Telipogon + +, the epithet +“atropurpureum +” was not used because that name already existed but, inadvertently, they used + +T. ortizii +N.H. +Williams & Dressler (2005: 169) + +, another name that also existed as + +T. ortizii +Dodson & R. Escobar (1993: 242) + +. Eventually, +Ortiz (2008) +corrected this by changing it to its current epithet. + + +This species was known only from the +type +locality near Arcabuco, +Boyacá Department +, north central +Colombia +. In recent fieldwork carried out nearby, we found more specimens, but its distribution apparently does not extend significatively in that country. Nevertheless, the new records found in +Ecuador +extend its known geographic range by +950 km +south from the +type +locality ( +Figure 5 +). Orchids are exceptionally likely to have large range disjunctions because their seeds, the lightest seeds of any wind-dispersed Angiosperms, can travel exceptionally long distances. For example, most of the orchid species on the +Galapagos Islands +are also found on mainland +Ecuador +, suggesting gene flow via seed dispersal over 800 Km of open ocean. Another example of a similarly large disjunction is + +Quechua glabrescens + +(1000 Km from east-central +Ecuador +to +Peru +( +Salazar & Jost 2012 +). Nevertheless, for orchids as inconspicuous as the present + +Telipogon + +, it is likely that there are connecting populations between the known ones, since many seemingly suitable but unexplored or poorly sampled forests still exist in the intervening mountains. + + + +Telipogon nigropurpureus + +is a miniature + +Telipogon + +characterized by its dark flowers which are large compared to most miniature + +Telipogon +species. + +The flowers present petals with ciliolate margins which are slightly falcate and curved forward, a shaggy, dark yellow to purple-brown lip, a subterete, dark purple, minutely pubescent to tomentose column, and three tufts of stellate setae on their column ( +Figures 1–3 +). + + + +FIGURE 1 +.

Ortiz + +in Colombia and Ecuador showing calculated area of occupancy (AOO) and extend of occurrence (EOO). Number 1 belongs to the type locality and new record found in Colombia. Numbers 2–4 correspond to localities in eastern Ecuador (2 Cosanga, 3 Cerro Candelaria Resere, 4 Baeza); and numbers 5–6 correspond to localities in western Ecuador (5 Pahuma Reserve, 6 Siempre Verde Reserve). Map created by M.F.Monteros. + + + +Young specimens usually produce very short inflorescences ( +Figure 3 F +) while older ones produce several long inflorescences (approx. +10 cm +long) ( +Figures 3 A, B +). In the protologue, +Ortiz (2002) +described that the petals measure 3.0 × +1.2 mm +, however, upon reviewing the visible petal of the +type +specimen, it was found that the length of the petal is approximately 7.0 mm, which is consistent with the specimens found in +Ecuador +. A subtle difference is observed in the specimens from western +Ecuador +, which have lighter yellow petals and lip ( +Figure 3 C +) compared to the brown or purple perianth in specimens from +Colombia +and eastern +Ecuador +. + + + +Telipogon nigropurpureus + +is morphologically similar to + +T. kukwae +(Szlach. & Mytnik) (2010: 8) + +C. +Martel (2016: 36) +, as also mentioned by +Martel (2016) +. However, + +T. nigropurpureus + +can be discriminated from + +T. kukwae + +by the longer inflorescences (up to +10 cm +long +vs. +2 cm +long in + +T. kukwae + +), the slightly falcate and narrowly elliptic-oblong petals ( +vs. +linear and narrowly lanceolate petals in + +T. kukwae + +), the somewhat thicker setae with stellate apex ( +vs. +thinner with bifurcated apex in + +T. kukwae + +). + + + + \ No newline at end of file
