Pseudolaelia is a genus endemic to the eastern Brazilian Atlantic Forest, consisting of 12 accepted species. Some Pseudolaelia species, such as P. vellozicola, P. aguadocensis, P. oliveirana, and P. regentii, referred to here as the PV complex, present extensive intra‐ and interpopulation morphologi...
