Pupulin, F. 2003. Two new species of Stellilabium (Orchidaceae: Telipogoninae) from Costa Rica. Harvard Pap. Bot. 8(1): 29—34.

Abstract
Two new species of Stellilabium are described and illustrated from Costa Rica. Among the species of Sect. Taeniorhachis, S. anacristinae may be recognized for the stiff trichomes of the lip, produced from low, black glands, and the very short setae of the column. Stellilabium tsipiriense is a close relative of S. minutiflorum (Kraenzl.) Garay, from which it differs for the widely elliptic petals, the midlobe of the lip with a glabrous apex, the very long setae of the column and the different shaped stipe of the pollinarium.

Keywords: Stellilabium anacristinae, Stellilabium tsipiriense, Stellilabium sect. Taeniorhachis, Orchidaceae, Costa Rica.
