Pleurothallis Barbosana is allied to P. pluriflora Cogniaux, Fl. Bras., 
Ill, 4, p. 492, pl. CXVI, fig. VI, but in the last species the two connate 
sepals are very acute, and the two lobes divergent; in the new species, 
the sepals are sub-obtuse, and the two lobes are convergent; the leaves 
from the latter species are also broader than those of the former.
