Quechua glabrescens is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native to Peru and Ecuador. It was first discovered in Peru and described by botanist T. Hashimoto in 1971 as Spiranthes glabrescens .[3] Following its rediscovery in the Rio Anzu Reserve in the Amazonian foothills near Mera, Ecuador, molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that it did not belong within Spiranthes or Cyclopogon. As a result, in 2012, Gerardo A. Salazar and Lou Jost formally published the new monotypic genus Quechua, reclassifying the species as Quechua glabrescens. As of July 2023[update], it is the only species in the genus Quechua.[2]
