Barbosella
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.

Taxonomy
    
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]
