==About==
The classification of this orchid species was published by M. Houllet in ''Revue Horticole'', 188. 1878 - Paris, France. The International Plant Name Index list this species as possibly the same as ''aphinia grandiflora'' but this is un-confirmed. Houllet was a French orchid collector in Brazil and later the director of the Botanic Jardin des Plantes in Paris during 19th century. The orchid genus ''[[Houlletia]]'' is named after him.
