Remarks

Eponymy: In honor of Carlos Uribe Vélez, (1943-) prominent orthopedist, resident of Bogotá, Colombia, who has dedicated many years to photograph the orchid diversity of Colombia, was a close friend of Pedro Ortiz Valdivieso, and together published a CD of Orchids of Colombia in 2007. He participated in the field trip where the authors observed and photographed the species in its natural habitat.
