Pupulin, F. & H. Medina, 2009. A second species of Seegeriella (Orchidaceae: Oncidiinae). Selbyana 30(1): 72-75.

Abstract: Seegeriella crothersii, a new species from Ecuador, is described and illustrated. The new species is compared with S. pinifolia, from which it mainly differs by the laterally flattened leaves, the paniculate inflorescence with short, 2-flowered secondary branches, the much smaller lip, provided with shorter lateral lobes, and the greenish yellow sepals and petals. A key to the species of Seegeriella is provided.

Key words: Oncidiinae, Orchidaceae, Seegeriella, Seegeriella crothersii, Ecuador.
