A taxonomical study of and allied species recorded in South America is presented. The group is characterized by light pink to purple flowers, often with a white tip of the labellum and yellow to brown area on its throat. If considering the habit, the species can be recognized and distinguished from all other species by producing keikis-stems arising from the old inflorescence. The similarity of the species forming the discussed complex caused numerous mistakes noticed in the literature and among the herbarium specimens. The aim of the elaboration is to clarify the differences allowing to determine the living and herbarium specimens with no errors.
本文对记录在南美的 和近缘种进行了分类学研究。该组的特征是浅粉色到紫色的花，通常具白色的唇瓣尖端和其咽喉部的黄色到棕色区域。如果考虑到习性，该种可通过从旧花序产生的珠芽茎与所有其他 种相区别。形成所讨论复合体的种的相似性导致了文献中和标本馆标本中众多错误的出现。本文的目的是阐明可以确定无错误的活体和标本馆标本的差异。
