A liana endemic to Ecuador, where it is known from a single collection in Chuquiribamba, northeast of Loja, recorded in 1876. Considered Critically Endangered or probably Extinct, due to the drastic reduction of its habitat since its discovery. No specimens of this species are housed in Ecuadorian museums. Habitat destruction is the only known threat to the species.

A liana endemic to Ecuador, where it is known from two collections made in 191819. One was made near Tambillo, south of Quito, and the other in the Lloa valley on the Pichincha volcano. Last recorded 84 years ago. The principal threats are the conversion of native vegetation to croplands and the close proximity to Quito. There are two varieties of the species, typica and lasiophlebia. No specimens of this species are housed in Ecuadorian museums. Habitat destruction is the only known threat to the species.
