Spilotantha is a genus proposed by Carlyle Luer; however, the genus lacks a clear synapomorphy and it is equivalent to Masdevallia subgenus Amanda, section Amandae.[1]
Morphology
- large or small plants the ramicauls are shorter than the coriaceous leaves
- an erect raceme with keeled or crested ovaries usually possessing inflated floral bracts
- species exhibit a series of simultaneously blooming flowers borne by a peduncle with a round cross-section
- sepals are usually long-tailed and variously connected into a shallow cup or arching cylindrical tube
- petals are callous on the lower half and are often denticulate along the margins
- the lip is usually divided by marginal folds
