Spreading Tropical Daisy (Egletes humifusa)
The Spreading Tropical Daisy, a small terrestrial herb, is known only from the type material that was collected at the beginning of the 20th century somewhere along the central coast of the Guayas Province in Ecuador.
The species hasn’t been found ever since and, given the devasted state of the native vegetation in the locality, may well be extinct now.
