'''''Adamantinia''''' is a monotypic [[genus]] of [[orchid]] ([[family (biology)|family]] Orchidaceae). The name is a reference to [[Chapada Diamantina National Park|Chapada Diamantina]], [[Brazil]], where this species comes from.
The single species is native to the [[Serra do Sincorá]] range ([[Brazil]], [[Bahia]], [[South America]]). It grows as an [[epiphyte]] at sunny positions, at about 900m altitude. Plants bear more or less clustered unifoliate pseudobulbs (rarely bifoliate), coriaceous dark-olive leaves, and possess long inflorescences with successive flowering. Flowers are showy, pink, with similar petals and sepals and a showy dark pink lip, with very small side lobes. Column is short, with a broad stigma.
