Barbosella is a genus of mostly creeping orchids.[3] The genus has about 20 species, widespread across the West Indies and Latin America from Mexico and the Lesser Antilles to Argentina.[2] Named after João Barbosa Rodrigues, an investigator of Brazilian orchids. They have solitary flowers with a unique lip base that works like a ball and socket.
Barbosella miersii is thought to differ from the other species of Barbosella in terms of its lip. The monotypic genus Barbrodria was created to accommodate this species,[4] However, it the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families (WCSP), this splinter group is currently not recognized.[5]
