Heliconia donstonea. This species is known from only four specimens collected from two populations found in northwest Andean montane forests, one population in Colombia and one in Ecuador. H. donstonea is assessed as endangered due to its narrow distribution, two unprotected populations and no known individuals preserved in botanical gardens.
