A key to the 10 species of Cremosperma occurring in Ecuador is presented, including four new species that are described: C. ecuadoranum, C. humidum, C. muscicola and C. reldioides . A new variety is C. hirsutissimum var. glabrum. Cremosperma demissum and C. album , originally described from Ecuador and Colombia, respectively, are reduced to C. hirsutissimum var. demissum and C. hirsutissimum var. album. Cremosperma pusillum var. ecuadorense is transferred to C. hirsutissimum var. hirsutissimum . The distribution of Cremosperma is discussed.
