Telipogon diabolicus is a species of orchid in the genus Telipogon. Only a single population of 30 plants are known to exist, on the border between the Putumayo and Nariño departments of southern Colombia. [2] [1] Accordingly, it is classed as " critically endangered" in the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List. [1]
The name diabolicus refers to the way its wine-red or maroon gynostemium looks like the head of the devil. [1]
Adult plants are 5.5–9 cm tall. [2]
