Aetheolaena ledifolia (Kunth.) B. Nord

Ledum-leaved Aetheolaena (Aetheolaena ledifolia)  

This species is in fact known only by the material that was collected in 1802 by Alexander von Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland somewhere in Ecuador.

The species was never found again since and is now most likely extinct.
