Rhyncholaelia, abbreviated Rl. in the horticultural trade,[1] is a genus of orchids (family Orchidaceae), comprising two species. They are distributed in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras. Both species were originally published in Brassavola by Lindley. In 1918, Schlechter erected the new genus Rhyncholaelia and moved Brassavola digbyana Lindl. 1846 and Brassavola glauca Lindl. 1839 into it.[2][3]
