Comments. A complete description of the external morphology of the species was given in its original description. As for phallic structures, they were described by Rehn & Grant (1958). They are commonly found in the understory, among varied vegetation, mostly Melastomataceae and other forbs, in which they can be abundant; they are not found commonly in ferns though in some collection places they inhabited disturbed areas, being found even in grasses in roadsides and overgrown cattle fields. According to Varón (2000), the species is found up to 2000 m.a.s.l., but literature data and the material that could be checked points to an upper limit of about 1600.
