[edit]Publication
[edit]It was first published as Aerides sect. Ornithochilus Wallich ex Lindley by John Lindley based on previous work by Nathaniel Wallich in 1833.[3] It was later integrated into the genus Phalaenopsis Blume on the subgeneric level as Phalaenopsis subg. Ornithochilus (Wall. ex Lindl.) Kocyan & Schuit. published by Alexander Kocyan and André Schuiteman in 2014.[5][1]
