Ongoing research on the systematics of Columnea (Gesneriaceae) has resulted in the discovery of a new species, Columnea flammeostoma J.L. Clark of the Gesneriaceae (tribe: Gesnerieae, subtribe: Columneinae). The new species is distinguished by the combination of isophyllous leaf pairs, fimbriate calyx lobe margins, and a deeply bilabiate corolla that is dark purple with yellow corolla lobe margins. The new species is endemic to the Cordillera del Cóndor in southern Ecuador where it was collected from the wild in 2005 and brought into cultivation by Ecuagenera and has since been distributed by horticulturists throughout several countries.
