La Bonita, near Colombia (550 km N of Tapichalaca)

La Bonita form of L. nummularia.
This area is now too dangerous to visit because of Colombian guerilla activity. Luckily Stig Dalstrom and Rick Burian visited the area a few years ago and gave me some Lepanthes nummularia plants they had found there. They have a small hanging lip like Form E of Baños, Galeras, and the Paute-Mendez Road although the general aspect of the flowers resembles Form A of Tapichalaca.
