Two new species of Lepanthes from the Central Cordillera of the Colombian Andes are described and illustrated. Both were found during a botanical expedition to Puracé National Natural Park, within the high Andean forests ecosystem of the municipality of Puracé, in the department of Cauca. reSuMen. Dos nuevas especies de Lepanthes de la Cordillera Central de los Andes Colombianos se describen e ilustran. Ambas fueron encontradas en una expedición botánica al Parque Nacional Natural Puracé, en Bosques Altoandinos en el municipio de Puracé en el departamento del Cauca.

Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-No Derivs 3.0 Costa Rica License. Introduction. The National Natural Park (PNN) Puracé and its buffer zone cover areas of Andean, high–Andean forest, and paramo ecosystems in the Colombian Massif of southwestern Colombia. This PNN is located in the southern sector of the Central Cordillera between the departments of Cauca and Huila, it has an extension of 91,483 ha with an elevation range between 2350 and 5000 m a.s.l. (Bonilla-Valencia et al. 2019). In the northwestern of PNN Puracé, the buffer zone si inhabited by the Kokonukos indigenous community, distributed in the Resguardo of Kokonuko, Puracé, and Paletará, occupying approximately 15,630 ha in the western slope of Cordillera Central, municipality of Puracé, centraleastern area of the Cauca department (Fig. 1) (Bravo 2012). This indigenous community recognizes the vital importance of biodiversity conservation since the geographical sites are intimately linked to its worldview and especially the ancestral medical system, describing their natural territory like the land of “Jucas” that corresponds to an ancestral power of the underground world where water dominates (Faust 1991, 2004). Given its location, this area occupies a unique position to study the high Andean flora diversity, but this information is scarce and scattered with limited scientific publications (Rangel-Ch & Lozano-D 1986, Duque & Rangel-Ch 1989, Duque & Restrepo 1992, Alzate 2007, Hágsater & Santiago 2015, Abud & Torres 2016, Hágsater, Santiago & Uribe Vélez 2018, Bonilla-Valencia et al. 2019). Here, contributing to the knowledge of the flora in this important area, we describe and illustrate two new Lepanthes Sw. species found within the Kokonukos indigenous territories in the Cauca department of Colombia. The new species were found during a botanical expedition between December 2019 and February 2020, within and in surrounding areas of the Puracé PNN. Materials and methods Descriptions and drawings.— The descriptions and drawings were prepared from living specimens. Specimens were dissected under an AmScope SM1TNZ-144A-3M stereo microscope and preserved in alcohol. Digital images were taken with a Nikon D750 with a Nikkor 105 mm f/1.8 macro lens. Sketches from living and preserved specimens were digitized, and the images were used for diagramming a draft composite template in Adobe Photoshop® CS6. Then, a digital composite line drawing was made (lines and stippling) in Procreate illustration application for iPad 6th generation tablet computer (Bogarín et al. 2019). Plant material.— Lepanthes specimens in the following herbaria AMES, CAUP, ICESI, JAUM, HPUJ, HUA, FMB, VALLE, JBB, CUVC, SEL, MO (online), TOLI and COL (online) were consulted, but no additional material was found there for us to include in the description of the new species.
