Adamantinia miltonioides

Adamantinia miltonioides is a species of orchid in the Epidendroideae subfamily. It is native to Serra do Sincorá of Chapada Diamantina National Park in Bahia, Brazil.

Description
It is an epiphytic plant growing at altitudes of 9000 m. The plants bear more or less clustered pseudobulbs that are usually unifoliate, sometimes bifoliate. They have dark-olive leaves, and possess long inflorescences with successive flowering. The flowers are pink in color, with similar petals and sepals and a dark pink lip and small side lobes. Column is short with broad stigma.

Systematics and taxonomy
It is located within the Epidendroideae subfamily, which contains the tribe Epidendreae and the subtribe Laeliinae. The relationship between the genera Leptotes and Isabelia remains in question, but genetic studies are being done to decide this relationship. Morphologically, it is rather close to the Hagsatera genus from Mexico.

The name of the genus is an anagram of "Diamantina", which refers to the Chapada Diamantina National Park, where the species is found. The species name refers to the similar aspect of the flower to the Miltonia.
