The velvet-purple coronet (Boissonneaua jardini) is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae.
It is found in humid foothill forest on the West Andean slope in western Colombia and north-western Ecuador.
The species has a quirk of holding its wings straight up for a moment after perching.
It generally breeds between January and March, but some have been spotted nesting as far off as September.
