The phylogenetics of Phalaenopsis has been thoroughly investigated in DNA studies ( Padolina et al. 2005; Yukawa et al. 2005; Tsai et al. 2010). On the basis of these, a tentative revised classification of Phalaenopsis was proposed by Cribb & Schuiteman (2012), but this did not consider how to handle relationships of other genera not previously thought to be close relatives of Phalaenopsis . Unexpectedly, a relatively major change is still required. Based on more recent molecular results, we here propose to merge three additional genera with Phalaenopsis : Hygrochilus , Ornithochilus and Sedirea . Until now, these were not considered to be particularly closely related to Phalaenopsis – especially given the striking differences in floral morphology, for example, in Ornithochilus – but the short stems and the relatively few, broad leaves appear to be synapomorphies. In addition, a central raised crest is often present on the lip, whereas the column is usually relatively long and slender and curved ( Fig. 1D View FIGURE 1 ).
