Endrés. Endrés 52 was collected in Costa Rica, without a more specific locality. Nevertheless, a vast majority of his collections come from San Ramón, Alajuela, where this species is common. Luer also listed Endrés 46 under Specklinia glandulosa, however we believe that number 46 is actually Specklinia acicularis (Ames &amp; Schweinfurth 1930: 21) Pridgeon &amp; Chase (2001: 256). The latter has similarly thin leaves but lacks the glandular ornamentation on the inflorescence and exterior of the sepals, and has a dark purplish to brownish coloration of the flower.</p> <p>The typical form of this species (morph 1) has relatively short leaves, which are shorter than the multi-flowered inflorescence. The floral segments are typically not spreading. The species is common around San Ramón in Alajuela, at elevations between 1,025 –1,235 m. Plants with similar characteristics (morph 2) are found in the Caribbean lowlands, at elevations between 300– 750 m. Aside from the obvious ecological differences they can also be set aside morphologically, and could represent a different species.At this time we prefer to include them here until more evidence can be presented.</p> <p>In Costa Rica, S. alajuelensis and S. vittariifolia have been confused with each other in herbaria. The first can be easily recognized from the second by the leaves that are less than 10 times as long as wide (while the second have extremely narrow leaves that can be more than 15 times longer than wide). The inflorescence of S. alajuelensis produces a lax inflorescence of an extremely slow succession, and always becomes longer than the leaf. The inflorescence of S. vittariifolia does not exceed the leaf length even though it can also produce several flowers over time; the flowers are born closely together making the inflorescence sub-fascicled.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038487AAE47DFFBDFF444585FCD5F98A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

He distinguished the two species apart on the basis of the glabrous sepals of the first, which are characteristic of the second. Illustrations by Dunsterville and Luer of material from Venezuela and Suriname, respectively, show flowers with less conspicuous ornamentation than observed in S. glandulosa and S. vittariifolia, but nonetheless present. It is possible that the inconspicuous ornamentation of Schweinfurth’s plants was even more difficult to observe in herbarium material. The disposition of the floral parts in the illustration and the statement in the protologue that “bud brownish orange”, suggests that the type illustration was prepared from a cleistogamous flower. In fact, ovaries are swollen in many flowers of the herbarium specimens and illustrations.</p> <p>Material from Brazil, Guyana, Surinam and Venezuela is therefore recognized a distinct species under the name Specklinia pertenuis. It can be recognized by the inflorescence that barely exceeds the leaf, and is rarely multi-flowered, the frequently bears cleistogamous flowers, with inconspicuous sepal ornamentation, very narrow sepals and petals, and a lip with sharp-triangular spreading angles just below the middle.</p> <p>The plant illustrated by Silva &amp; Silva (1997) of Brazilian origin (Silva 369; MG!) shows perianth parts typical of the S. glandulosa group, and comparable to those of S. pertenuis particularly. Nevertheless the leaves are much broader and have a different shape. Another Brazilian collection (Silva 630; MG!) does overlap well with S. pertenuis. Both specimens come from Sao Felix do Xingu, and at first glance do not seem to be the same species. Without more material it is difficult to determine them with certainty.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038487AAE475FFA6FF44439DFD02FAC6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In Costa Rica and Panama it is found mostly in the Caribbean lowlands, from 400 to 1,190 m elevation. In Mexico and El Salvador it is found at higher elevations, from 1,000 to 1,400 m (Fig. 6).</p> <p>Notes: — Aside from a sterile fragment of the plant and an accompanying sketch of the type kept at AMES, nothing else remains of the type material of Specklinia vittariifolia. The specimen was supposedly collected in San Jerónimo, Moravia, Costa Rica. We were unable to locate any such plants in the area during a series of field trips, and doubt it did indeed come from there. It is more likely that Wercklé actually collected this plant a few km North-East along the same road, where this species is abundant. There are more collections from Wercklé that, like this species, are typically found on the warm and humid Caribbean watershed, but were allegedly collected in San Jerónimo, a dryer and colder locality in the Central Valley (Pupulin 2010). The illustration of the type and description are not very specific to any of the species of this group; however, the plant fragment and illustration clearly depict a species with long and narrow leaves and an inflorescence that barely reaches the length of the leaf.</p> <p>Specklinia vittariifolia is locally abundant in certain areas in the Costa Rican Caribbean at mid to low elevations. It has been confused with the similar S. glandulosa in herbaria and living collections, however, it can be easily distinguished by the long leaves and relatively short inflorescences which in living material rarely exceed the leaf. The flower is conspicuously downward twisted, and its segments noticeably spreading. Although frequently appearing single flowered, the species can produce up to 4 flowers in tight succession on a single inflorescence, however only one is developed at a time. The flowers are relatively large, with sepals exceeding 7.5 mm long and a lip of 4 mm long, with a pair of conspicuous sub-trapezoid lateral lobes.</p> <p>The herbarium sheet of Roy Lent ’s number 1762 kept at CR represents a mix of both S. alajuelensis and S. vittariifolia. We cannot be certain if both were collected together or if they come from different localities. However, the locality corresponds perfectly with that of other material of S. alajuelensis, and we have therefore chosen to give that material the number Lent 1762a. The two CR specimens with long, narrow leaves, and all of those kept at SEL are S. vittariifolia, and are given the number Lent 1762b, with unknown locality.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038487AAE469FFA2FF444585FC09FD96	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
