Diteilis Rafinesque.
A genus of about 25-35 species, terrestrial herbs, mainly of tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate Asia, but also in the Neotropics. This genus is separated from Liparis on morphological and molecular grounds; Liparis liliifolia and L. loeselii (the type of the genus Liparis) are more closely related to Malaxis than to Diteilis (see Cameron 2005).
