Abstract
Concepts of the generic delimitation in the Odontoglossum complex are revised. Comparative morphology of previously recognized genera: CochliodaCollarestuartenseOdontoglossumSolenidiopsis, and Symphyglossum is presented. Differences between those taxa are compared with the results of molecular studies. A new combination within Collarestuartense is proposed.
