Atwood, J.T. & R.L. Dressler. 1995. Another New Species of Stellilabium from Monteverde, Costa Rica. Selbyana 16(2): 239-241

Abstract. A new species of Stellilabium, S. barbozae J.T.Atwood & R.L.Dressler, is described from a cloud forest in Monteverde bringing a total of five recently described congenerics from this area. Although these minute orchids may have been overlooked by collectors elsewhere, the narrow range known for these species suggests that rapid speciation has occurred among these orchids in the Monteverde area, a phenomenon suggested for other areas of the tropics.
