31. Myoxanthus neillii Luer & Dodson (1992: 62)

Distribution: — Ecuador and Peru.
Notes:— This species is similar to M. affinis and M. parahybunensis , but M. neillii is distinguished from these by its small flowers with sepals only 4–5 mm long, oblong petals not narrowed above the middle and column with teeth at the apex. Since the holotype at MO was not located, a lectotype is designated here.
