Type species
Echinosepala aspasicensis

Echinosepala is a proposed genus of orchids comprising the subgenera Silenia and Satyria of the genus Myoxanthus . There is little reason to resist this change, thus Echinosepala is widely accepted. The genus contains 8 species.

The genus was formerly known as Echinella Pridgeon & M.W.Chase , but as this latter also refers to an algae genus, it has been changed to Echinosepala.

Pabstiella is a small orchid genus belonging to the subfamily Epidendroideae. They occur in Central and Tropical America.

Phloeophila is a genus of orchids belonging to the tribe Pleurothallidinae. While an initial molecular phylogeny in 2013 suggested that the type species of the genus was nested within Pabstiella, further sampling showed that it in fact belongs to a unique clade distant from Pabstiella, forming the current basis of the genus.
