Scaphyglottis is a genus of orchids native to Mexico, Central America, northern South America and parts of the Caribbean. The current concept of this genus is the result of combining several genera which have been described at various times. The concept is characterized by the growth habit: not only are new pseudobulbs added at the base of the old ones, but new pseudobulbs also grow at the apices of the old ones. Many species are quite similar and difficult to distinguish, but some are clearly distinct. A few have showy colors. The genus comprises nearly 70 species.
Scaphyglottis bidentata is a species of orchid found in the American tropics from Costa Rica to northern Brazil. It is the type species of the genus Hexisea, and was published before the generic epithet Scaphyglottis. In a reversal of the usual rules for taxonomy, the genus Scaphyglotts was conserved against Hexisea when the two genera were combined. The generic epithet Hexisea was retained as correct, however, in discussions limited to the species which had traditionally been placed in Hexisea.
