Abstract
Three species of Lysipomia, L. caespitosa, L. cylindrocarpa, and L. sp
eciosa, from a tropical alpine ecosystem called paramo, are described,
illustrated, and compared to related species. Notes on morphology, es
pecially floral presentation, and general ecology are given where poss
ible. A published key to the species in Ecuador is revised to include
the three new species plus L. multiflora McVaugh, a species previously
known only from northern Peru.
