Overview of Cranichis (Orchidaceae, Cranichidinae) and allied genera with notes on their Colombian representatives

“…Based primarily on the gynostemium structure, mainly rostellum, viscidium and pollinium organization Szlachetko (1995) proposed different placement of considered subtribes. He included Prescottinae to Spirantheae, leaving Cranichideae as a monotypic tribe.…”

“…The taxonomic position of the genus in Orchidaceae is not questioned. While in the older classification systems (Pfitzer 1889; Bentham andHooker 1862-1863;Dressler and Dodson 1960), Cranichis was placed in a broadly defined tribe Neottieae, currently it is recognized as a member of subtribe Cranichidinae in Cranichideae (Dressler 1981(Dressler , 1993Szlachetko 1995;Szlachetko and Rutkowski 2000;Chase et al 2003). Nevertheless, Dressler (1981Dressler ( , 1993 and Szlachetko (1995) considered Cranichideae as a tribe of subfamily Spiranthoideae based on their morphological characters, while the molecular taxonomists Salazar et al 2003) placed it in Orchidoideae.…”

A new species of Rhinorchis (Orchidaceae, Habenariinae) from French Guiana

“…All those plants are characterized by dissimilar tepals with a cucullate dorsal sepal hiding the gynostemium, which is characterized by elongate antherophores, stigmaphores and rostellophores (Szlachetko 1995).…”

A synopsis of the genus Orchidotypus (Orchidaceae, Vandoideae) in Colombia, with description of a new species

“…Dressler (1981), followed by Chase et al (2003), included it in Cymbidieae Pfitzer, Senghas (1995) included it in Oncidieae Pfitzer, and Szlachetko (1995) included it in Dichaeeae Pfitzer. Most often only two genera are included in this subtribe: Fernandezia Ruiz & Pav.…”
