Why is it important?
From this study, the classification of the genera in the subtribe Pleurothallidinae was modified, recognizing each one as well-supported monophyletic groups.
Perspectives
This article has generated ongoing work to study the phylogenetic relationships within each genus of the subtribe Pleurothallidinae.
