This guy has explored some previously uncharted and untouched regions of Ecuador, specifically in the area of Banos. Hes climbed ridiculous mountains in search of new orchids, and certainly managed to find some.
He has discovered approximately 20 new members of the genus Teagueia, which previously consisted of only 6 specie. Many of them in extremely small and remote microclimates, in many of which the plants actually freeze at night, yet still manage to completely dominate their respective microclimates.
Ok, i used the word microclimate way too many times. Anyway - this guy has done some really cool stuff, and i thought a lot of you would probably get a kick out of it. He's also got good pictures and a brand new monograph of the genus.
Enjoy.
