Synonymy
At the urging of Dressler, Hexisea has been reduced to synonymy under Scaphyglottis, over which Hexisea has priority.[1] The Hexisea page is conserved here because Dressler's proposal stated, in part: "...those who so wish may retain Hexisea in any circumscription that excludes S. graminifolia (the type of Scaphyglottis; see Dressler in Taxon 9:214. 1960)..."
