Rodrigoa (rod-reh-GO-ah) is distinguished from Masdevallia by thinly coriaceous leaves that taper into a more or less conduplicate (folded together) leaf stalk within which the slender peduncle ascends to bear a successively few-flowered raceme.  The dorsal is free from the laterals that are connected at the base and form a shallow cup.  The petals are marginally callus without a descending process.  The lip is variable.  The species here used to be a part of Masdevallia subgenus Meleagris.
