The genus sobralia, as we now understand it, includes about 100 named species, though I think this number will grow a great deal. We know about 50 species from Mexico and Central America, but about half of them have been described in the last 15 years by Dressler (some co-authored by Bogarin or Pupulin) and we now have several more new species to describe, mostly from Costa Rica or Panama (but we have not even begun to sample Honduras or Nicaragua). Considering that the number of species increases steadily from Mexico to Panama, I think there are still many anonymous sobralias in Andean South America. Here, though, I won’t even try to discuss all of the Central American species.
