Description

Barbosella dusenii

Name: Barbosella dusenii (A.Samp.) Schltr.

Synonyms: Restrepia dusenii, Barbosella gardneri var. dusenii.

Etymology: The genus name Barbosella honors the Brazilian botanist João Barbosa Rodrigues. dusenii honors the Swedish botanist and plant collector Per Karl Hjalmar Dusén.

First description: Alberto José de Sampaio described the species in 1909 as Restrepia dusenii; Rudolf Schlechter placed it in Barbosella in 1918.

Origin / Habitat: Southern Brazil, especially Paraná; other occurrences have been documented in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. It grows epiphytically, creeping and forming mats, in moist forest habitats at about 900 m.

Description & Notes: Miniature orchid with a long creeping rhizome, slender ascending shoots, and single elliptical leaves. The individual flowers are about 0.5 cm large and appear on fine, upright inflorescences. With us, it grows in shady to partial shade, with high humidity and good air circulation. We cultivate it warm to temperate, at about 16–26 °C.
