__NOTOC__{{Plantbox

'''''Sobralia''''' is a [[genus]] of about 125 [[orchid]]s ([[family (biology)|family]] Orchidaceae) and the only genus of the subtribe '''Sobraliinae'''.
| name = ''LATINNAME''   <!--- replace LATINNAME with the actual latin name -->
+
 
| common_names =    <!--- if multiple, list all, if none, leave blank -->
+
It is native to [[Central America|Central]] and [[South America]]. The plants are more commonly terrestrial, but are also found growing [[Epiphyte|epiphytically]], in wet forests from [[sea level]] to about 8,800 ft. The genus was named for Dr. [[Francisco Sobral]], a Spanish [[botanist]]. The genus is abbreviated '''Sob''' in trade journals.
| growth_habit = ?  <!--- tree, shrub, herbaceous, vine, etc -->
+
 
| high = ?  <!--- 1m (3 ft) -->

Their reed-like [[Plant stem|stems]] range in height from about 1 ft (33 cm) (such as in ''Sobralia galeottiana'') to 25-30 ft. (10 m) They have typically heavily veined, bilobed, plicate, apical [[Leaf|leaves]] all along the stem. The [[inflorescence]]s on the apex of the stem carry one or two successive ephemeral [[flower]]s with large [[sepal]]s and [[petal]]s. The short duration of the flower is caused by a self-digesting [[enzyme]]. The [[labellum|lip]] is entire or lobed and clasps the [[column]] at its base. This columns carries eight soft [[pollinium|pollinia]]. These flowers range in color from pure white to yellow, green, pink, purple, red, brown, and even a blue violet.

Sobralia (for Fr. Mart. Sobral, a Spanish botanist). Orchidaceae. Extremely handsome terrestrial orchids with a very distinct habit, some of them comparing well with cattleyas and laelias in bloom.
