Abstract

A new species of Galeandra from the state of Apure, Venezuela, is described and illustrated. The new species, in vivo, is easily distinguished by its unpleasant fragrance that reminds one of the smell emitted by the American roach, and in the herbarium by a set of unique morphological characters. We also present miscellaneous herbarium notes on Galeandra and a bilingual key to identify the species of the genus found in Venezuela.
