Abstract

A new species, Ormosia neillii (Fabaceae), is described and illustrated from the tepui-like formations of the Cordillera del Cóndor Region in south-eastern Ecuador. Morphological similarities with other species of Ormosia are examined and discussed. Based on IUCN guidelines, a preliminary conservation status of Endangered (EN) is recommended.
