Two new species, Clavijo & J.L.Clark, and J.L.Clark & Clavijo, (Gesneriaceae, Columneinae), are described from the western Andean slopes of Ecuador and Colombia. The new species are similar to , , , and because of the facultative epiphytic habit, deeply serrate to laciniate calyx margins, and fleshy bivalved capsules with tardily dehiscent endocarps. Leaves with brochidodromous venation, narrowly elongate corolla tube, and laciniate calyx margins differentiate . The longest corolla of any known (> 6.5 cm long) differentiates . Digital photographs, geographic distributions, and IUCN categories are provided for the new species.

Article Synopsis
- A new species of the Gesneriaceae family, named Clavijo & J.L.Clark, has been identified on the western Andean slopes of southern Colombia and northern Ecuador.
- This species was previously confused with another endemic species native to Colombia's Chocó region, which also has large calyx lobes and tubular corollas.
- Key differences include the new species' unique stem texture, leaf shape, corolla colors, and the nature of its fruits, along with the inclusion of digital images and a preliminary extinction risk assessment.

Background And Aims: Early Palaeocene (Danian) plant fossils from Patagonia provide information on the recovery from the end-Cretaceous extinction and Cenozoic floristic change in South America. Actinomorphic flowers with eight to ten perianth parts are described and evaluated in a phylogenetic framework. The goal of this study is to determine the identity of these fossil flowers and to discuss their evolutionary, palaeoecological and biogeographical significance.
