Nomenclatural notes and new combinations on Anathallis and Specklinia (Orchidaceae)
Abstract Even though many new combinations have been proposed for the genera Anathallis Barb.Rodr. and Specklinia Lindl., since their re-establishment in 2001, several Brazilian species bearing the characteristics of these genera were never transferred from Pleurothallis R.Br. sensu lato. In this work 17 Brazilian species formerly attributed to Pleurothallis are transferred to Anathallis (16 species) and Specklinia (one species). Also, several superfluous names created from double new combinations in the genera Anathallis and Specklinia are pointed out.
