These discoveries bring the total number of Burmeistera species in Ecuador to ca. 47. Descriptions are given for each species, as well as diagnoses to differentiate them from other Burmeistera . Also provided is a discussion of each species’ etymology, phenology, and ecology, a list of all specimens examined, and distribution maps and photos, when available.
