'''''Sophronitis''''', abbreviated '''Soph''' in horticultural trade, is a genus of small, ] or ] ]s, growing in the damp montane forest of eastern ], ] and NE ]. Currently, 65 species are recognized.
{{R with history}}

''Sophronitis'' species are widely known for their red flowers, particularly ''Sophronitis coccinea''. Between the time that the Brazilian '']s'' were moved to ''Sophronitis'' and the reduction of ''Sophronitis'' to synonymy under '']'', the genus was also known for large flowered species such as ''Sophronitis purpurata''.

In January 2008, the International Orchid Committee voted to reduce ''Sophronitis'' to synonymy under '']''.<ref name="Sophronitis">{{Cite web|url=http://www.aos.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Home&TEMPLATE=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&CONTENTID=4714|title=RHS Advisory Panel on Orchid Hybrid Registration (APOHR) Meeting |accessdate=2009-01-26|publisher=American orchid Society|year=2008|author=Ron McHatten}}</ref> The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has already moved a hybrid of the ] '']'' that had been renamed '']'' into the genus '']''.

== Description ==
They have short, ovoid, often densely clustered pseudobulbs along the ], in which grows a single, or rarely two, apical, erect, fleshy, gray-green ].

The leaf gives rise to a terminal ] with one to eight ]s. Sometimes this inflorescence is subtended by a spathaceous bract, sometimes erroneously called ] (spathe is a typical form in some other families such as ] and ]). The flowers have similarly shaped ]s and ]s, and can be yellow, pink, lavender, magenta, orange and red.

The trilobed ] has lateral lobes that partially encircle the ]. The smaller midlobe has a yellow disc and the spur is adnate to the ]. The lip often presents some lamellate calli.

Some species are yellow, and almost all species have some shades of orange due to natural variation within the species.

They are used extensively in ] to influence the small size and the dark red color of the progeny, such as in the hybrid x ''Sophrolaeliocattleya'' (x''Slc''.) ''Sophronitis'' species are quite small, a characteristic that may be conferred to progeny such that they are more compact.

This new classification was created by Van den Berg and M.W. Chase in 2000. In addition to the traditional small, red species, it included all ''Laelia'' species from Brazil, based on DNA evidence. The Mexican species still are ''Laelia''.

==Synonymy==
'''''Brasilaelia''''' <small>]</small>, '''''Chironiella''''' <small>]</small>, '''''Dungsia''''' <small>] & ]</small>, '''''Hadrolaelia''''' <small>] & ]</small>, '''''Hoffmannseggella''''' <small>]</small>, '''''Lophoglottis''''' <small>]</small>, '''''Microlaelia''''' <small>] & ]</small>, '''''Sophronia''''' <small>]</small> are synonyms of ''Sophronitis''.

To "reduce confusion" ''Sophronitis'' has been reduced to ] under '']''<ref>C. van den Berg "New Combinations in the Genus '']'' Lindl. (Orchidaceae)" ''Neodiversity'' '''3''' (2008) 3-12.</ref>

== Natural hybrids ==

== Doubtful Species ==
* '']'' Lindl. '''Wing Fruited Sophronitis''' (Brazil to Paraguay).
** The type of '']'' is from the city of Rio de Janeiro, where only '']'' occurs. The belief that this species corresponds to the western portion of the range into Paraguay does not match herbarium information.
* '']'' (Hoehne) Van den Berg & M.W.Chase: '''Twisted-stem Sophronitis''' (Brazil - Minas Gerais).
** This taxon is a variation of '']'' which occurs only within some populations, with no biological grounds for species recognition.
