Abstract
A new orchid species, Encyclia sabanensis, is described and illustrated. The new taxon is compared with a large group of species of Encyclia from the Caribbean. The distribution, ecology, and conservation status of E. sabanensis are briefly discussed. A general field key for identifying 24 Encyclia species that has been reported for Cuba is offered. The key is coupled with the diagrams of the labellum of 23 species.
