Since the last classification of Orchidaceae in 2003, there has been major progress in the
determination of relationships, and we present here a revised classification including a list of …

Subtribe Pleurothallidinae with just over 5000 species is possibly the most species-rich of all
orchids. It has been growing steadily for more than two centuries, but the last three decades …

Taxonomic delimitations are challenging because of the convergent and variable nature of
phenotypic traits. This is evident in species-rich lineages, where the ancestral and derived …

Colombia is a major biodiversity hotspot, having one of the richest orchid floras in the world.
The country spans over a million square kilometers of land, hosting a multitude of different …

The phylogenetic relationships within Specklinia (Pleurothallidinae; Orchidaceae) and
related genera are re-evaluated using Bayesian analyses of nrITS and chloroplast matK …

Pleurothallidinae (Epidendreae) are a megadiverse Neotropical orchid subtribe comprising>
5100 species, most of which are probably pollinated by Diptera. The role of pollinators as …

The Orchidaceae is one of the most diverse vascular plant families in the Neotropics and the
most diverse in Panama. The number of species is triple that of other well-represented …

The phylogenetic relationships within the Acianthera affinity are re-evaluated using
Bayesian analyses of nrITS and chloroplast matK sequence data. Emphasis is made on …

Most of the species studied in this paper have previously been placed in either Pleurothallis
or Lepanthes. However, at one time or another, members of the group have also been …

We propose a new classification of the Lepanthes affinity based on previous studies and our
ongoing phylogenetic re-evaluation of the Pleurothallidinae. Fourteen genera are …
