Abstract (en):
Allomaieta javierbarrigae, a new species from the Amazonian foothills of the state of Putumayo, Colombia, is described. This is the first record of the genus Allomaieta from the Amazonian flank of the Andes of Colombia. It is characterized by strigose indumentum of the vegetative parts, inflorescence and hypanthium, leaves with basal or slightly plinervate venation, 5-merous flowers, and rose-coloured petals. It grows in the shade of the understory of tropical rainforests between 700 and 900 m a.s.l. Given its limited distribution and habitat specificity, the categorization of this species as Endangered (EN) is recommended.

Se describe Allomaieta javierbarrigae, una nueva especie del piedemonte amazónico del departamento
del Putumayo, Colombia, y que representa el primer registro de distribución del género Allomaieta en
el flanco amazónico de los Andes de Colombia. Se caracteriza por el indumento estrigoso en las partes
vegetativas, inflorescencia e hipanto, hojas con venación basal o levemente plinervia, flores 5-meras y
pétalos rosados. Crece en ambientes umbrófilos en el interior de bosques en bosque húmedo tropical,
entre los 700 y 900 m s.n.m. Dada su distribución limitada y especificidad de hábitat, se recomienda la
categorización de esta especie como En peligro (EN).
