Sobralia rosea Poeppig & Endlicher Nov. Gen. ac 
Sp. 1 (1886) 54, t. 98. 
Known from the eastern Andean slopes of Ecuador 
and Peru, Sobralia rosea has previously been reported 
from Colombia on the basis of a collection from Norte 
de Santander (Schlechter in Fedde Repert. Beihefte 7 
(1920) 212). The locality of Schultes & Smith 3049, 
though very distant from the only other Colombian col- 
lection, fills in an extensive gap in our knowledge of the 
range of this beautiful orchid.
