Abstract

The genusBarkeria (Orchidaceae) consists of four species and eight subspecies (the treatment includes a key) of epiphytic plants endemic to Mexico and Central America.Barkeria is separated from the genusEpidendrum on the structure of the rostellum and column in the flower, plus shape of the pseudobulbs. The authors suggest thatBarkeria is most closely related toCaularthron based on the general shape of the flowers, widely spreading fleshy column wings, and structure of the rostellum.
