{{R from alternative scientific name|plant}}
'''''Sophronitis''''' is a genus of small, ] or ] ]s, growing in the damp montane forest of eastern ], ] and NE ].
{{R with history}}

''Sophronitis'' species are widely known for their red flowers, particularly ''Sophronitis coccinea''.

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 & 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''.
