The members of the section have been known over the years under numerous genus names and are now considered by Plants of the World online to a section (Diplocaulobium) of a greatly expanded genus Dendrobium. Landy Rajaovelona and colleagues introduce us to the orchids of the Itremo Massif Protected Area of Madagascar and Leon Glicenstein shares some of his hybrids with the terrestrial Pteroglossa roseoalba.
