415F1577024F5A0EA7C120C705857D82.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The trichomes on the calyx lobes and inferior ovary allow the flower to cling to an upside-down finger (Fig. 1 C). This specific epithet reflects the sticky trichomes on the outer surface of the inferior ovary and calyx lobes.	en	Clark, John L., Tobar, Franciso, Keene, Jeremy (2022): Monopyle glutinosa (Gesneriaceae), a new species from the western slopes of the Ecuadorian Andes.

415F1577024F5A0EA7C120C705857D82.taxon	distribution	Distribution and preliminary assessment of conservation status. Monopyle glutinosa is endemic to the western Andean slopes of Ecuador. The three known collections are located in the buffer zone and the southern region of Reserva Ecologica Los Illinizas, from disturbed primary forests. GeoCAT calculated the following values for EOO = 46.31 km 2 and AOO = 12 km 2. Based on the available information and according to the IUCN Red List Criteria and Guidelines (IUCN 2022; IUCN Standards and Petitions Committee 2022), M. glutinosa is preliminarily assessed as Critically Endangered (CR, B 1 a, biii), based on its limited geographic range (EOO <100 km 2) and the uncertain future of habitat conservation of western Andean forests as exemplified by the deforestation for agriculture throughout the buffer zone and inside the park.	en	Clark, John L., Tobar, Franciso, Keene, Jeremy (2022): Monopyle glutinosa (Gesneriaceae), a new species from the western slopes of the Ecuadorian Andes.
