Condylago rodrigoi is a species of orchids and the sole species of the genus Condylago. The generic name refers to the articulation of the lip which, like the genus Acostaea. is sensitive and snaps up when triggered. The leaves are up to about 4" long. Each inflorescence has many flowers and each flower may last for several months. This orchid has no pseudobulbs.
The species is uniquely found in Colombia[1] at altitudes ranging from 4,600 feet (1,400 m) to 5,250 feet (1,600 m). Named in honor of Sr. Rodrigo Escobar of Medellin, Colombia, who has successfully cultivated this species since its discovery.[2]
