Three flowering plants from Colombia's Cordillera Occidental. Columnea baqueroi is a nomadic climber from Cerro El Inglés in Chocó with a white tubular corolla and no floral bracts. Columnea galeanoi carries inverted purple-red leaf pigmentation and a yellow corolla with purple stripes. Columnea magnicalyx, known only from the Mesenia-Paramillo Nature Reserve near Jardín, has calyx lobes more than half the length of its corolla.
