We document an orchid species not previously reported or illustrated for the flora of Venezuela, Veyretia szlachetkoana, collected in the context of the project ″Flora de orquĺdeas de los estados Amazonas y Bolivar, Venezuela. ″ The genus Veyretia is briefly discussed, herbarium specimens of V. szlachetkoana are cited, and field diagnostic characters are provided. We also include a key to distinguish Sarcoglottis from Veyretia and one to identify the three species of Veyretia so far reported for the flora of Venezuela.
