Abstract A new species of Rodriguezia Ruiz & Pav. is described and illustrated based on material collected in Colombia. The novelty is distinguished by its subrectangular lip lamina, which is ornamented with an elevated pad extending to 3/4 of the lip. In contrast to R. lehmannii Rchb. f., in R. suarezii Kolan. & R. Medina Tr. leaf-bearing sheaths are observed at the base of its pseudobulb. An identification key for the Colombian Rodriguezia species is provided
