See text Sobralia is a genus of orchids native to Mexico, Central and South America.

[1][2] The plants are more commonly terrestrial, but are also found growing epiphytically, in wet forests from sea level to about 8,800 ft.

[3] They have typically heavily veined, bilobed, plicate, apical leaves all along the stem.

The inflorescences on the apex of the stem carry one or two successive ephemeral flowers with large sepals and petals.

These flowers range in color from pure white to yellow, green, pink, purple, red, brown, and even a blue violet.
