Editing Geonoma tenuissima (section)

===Distribution & Habitat:===
''G. tenuissima'' is restricted to a few isolated peaks that rise out of the coastal lowlands of Ecuador within half a degree north and south of the equator. It is found at elevations from about 450m to 700m on steep slopes in wet premontane rainforest.  Only three sites have been recorded: the first was on a ridge about 50km south of Santo Domingo known as Montañas de Ila, the second site was a hill just outside Santo Domingo and the other is on the range of Machi-Chindul east of Muisne. Because of its very restricted distribution it has been classified as Critically Endangered (CR)
