A molecular phylogeny reveals paraphyly of the large genus Eulophia (Orchidaceae): A case for the reinstatement of Orthochilus Taxon 63(1) 9-23
Description of the genus
Comment: Recent phylogenetic research established that the large genus Eulophia needed to be split in two to obtain a monophyletic status. Since the oldest available name within the newly separated group was Orthochilus this name has been reinstated. Worldwide: 35 species in Subsaharan Africa, Madagascar, tropical and subtropical America. Kenya: 0 taxa. |
