A short discussion for the preference of describing them in Dracontia instead of Stelis is given. The three species are afterwards described: Dracontia montis-mortense, a species with a unique whitish lip with three purple stripes, which is found along the Pan-American Highway on the Cerro de la Muerte, and has been confused with Dracontia dracontea; Dracontia pileata, recognized by its hat-like dorsal sepal, and Dracontia viridi-flava, recognized by its all green-yellow flowers and erose lip. The latter species are both native to the south-Pacific watershed of the Talamanca Cordillera and closely related to Dracontia conochila and Dracontia hydra. A key to the Costa Rican species of Dracontia is given, accompanied by a discussion of the included species.1 aKarremans, Adam, P.1 aBogarin, Diego  u<Go to ISI>://WOS:00031989340000301151nas a2200169   4500008004100000022001400041245008100055210006900136300001000205490000800215520063400223100001900857700002400876700001900900700002400919856003800943       2013                        eng d  a1179-315500aA new Specklinia (Orchidaceae: Pleurothallidinae) from Costa Rica and Panama0 anew Specklinia Orchidaceae Pleurothallidinae from Costa Rica and  a31-410 v1153 aA new species of Specklinia from the Cordillera de Talamanca in southern Costa Rica and western Panama is described and illustrated. Specklinia absurda most closely resembles Specklinia fuegi. It differs from that species in the pendent, single flowered inflorescence, whitish yellow sepals with red-pink veins and yellow apex, red petals with translucent margins, pandurate-trilobed, unguiculate lip with a distinct papillose isthmus below the anterior lobe, and reniform, erose, erect lateral lobes, with a Y-shaped thickened, hirsutulous apical callus. The affinities of this species to other Specklinia species are discussed.1 aBogarin, Diego1 aKarremans, Adam, P.1 aRincon, Rafael1 aGravendeel, Barbara  u<Go to ISI>://WOS:000321204700001
