Sobralia Ruiz & Pav. is a neotropical orchid genus with large morphological diversity. It can be divided into four sections and some informal groups based on the architecture of the inflorescence. The section Racemosae is characterized by elongated inflorescence with distinct internodes. Although the section is well-defined, species within it are often similar and can be easily misidentified, especially when considering herbarium specimens. This study presents a taxonomic revision of Sobralia section Racemosae, including morphological characteristics, identification keys, ecological data, and distribution maps. A new species, Sobralia gambitana, is described, and a neotype is proposed for S. hoppii Schltr.
Sobralia Ruiz & Pav. is a large and morphologically diverse neotropical orchid genus. It can be divided into four sections and some informal groups of species based mainly on the inflorescence architecture. While most of the species have strongly abbreviated, compact raceme, the section Racemosae is characterized by an elongated inflorescence with distinct internodes between flowers. Although the group is well-defined and easily distinguishable in terms of morphology, its species are often similar to each other and may be easily misidentified. Identification is especially difficult when considering herbarium specimens. Here, a taxonomic revision of Sobralia section Racemosae is presented. Apart from particular species' morphological characteristics, keys for identification, ecological data, and distribution maps are presented. Sobralia gambitana is described as a species new to science. A neotype for S. hoppii Schltr. is proposed.
