Gasteranthus extinctus was found by biologists at the foot of the Andes Mountains and in forest remains in the Centinela region of Ecuador, almost 40 years after its last observation. Extensive deforestation in western Ecuador in the late 20th century led to the extinction of a number of plant species, including Gasteranthus extinctus – which is why scientists gave it that name.
