Description

Brachypeza unguiculata (Lindl.) Kocyan & Schuit., comb. nov.

Basionym: Sarcochilus unguiculatus Lindley (1840: 67).

Homotypic synonyms: Thrixspermum unguiculatum (Lindl.) Reichenbach (1868: 122); Pteroceras unguiculatum (Lindl.) Pedersen (1992: 388).

Heterotypic synonym: Aerides diurna Teijsmann & Binnendijk (1864: 19); Phalaenopsis ruckeri Reichenbach (1881: 562); Sarcochilus aureus Hooker (1891: 35); Thrixspermum aureum (Hook.f.) Kuntze (1891: 682); Phalaenopsis fugax Kränzlin (1893: 360); Sarcochilus phalaenopsis Schlechter (1911a: 203); Pteroceras phalaenopsis (Schltr.) Garay (1972: 194).

Note: The following taxa, currently treated as species of Pteroceras, differ in the rachis characters from the type of the genus and are probably more closely related to Grosourdya and Brachypeza. In their muricatehirsute inflorescence, they agree with Grosourdya, whereas floral characters are more similar to Brachypeza. In the absence of DNA-based evidence we have decided not to transfer these species to either Brachypeza or Grosourdya: Pteroceras asperatum (Schltr.) P.F.Hunt, P. hirsutum (Hook.f.) Holttum, P. indicum Punekar, P. johorense (Holttum) Holttum, P. monsooniae Sasidh. & Sujanapal, P. muluense Schuit. & de Vogel, P. muriculatum (Rchb.f.) P.F.Hunt, P. nabawanense J.J.Wood & A.L.Lamb, P. philippinense (Ames) Garay, and P. spathibrachiatum (J.J.Sm.) Garay.
