Cogniaux reviewed the Brazilian species of Campylocentrum and recognized Campylocentrum aciculatum and C. sellowii as distinct species. In his study, he also included two specimens of C. ornithorrhynchum among the material of C. sellowii . Examination of the type specimens shows that C. sellowii and C. aciculatum are the same species, and C. ornithorhyncum is a distinct species. The aim of this study is to clarify the identity of C. sellowii and expand the description to include the concept of C. aciculatum and exclude the floral characters of C. ornithorrhyncum . It also provides an illustration, distribution map, key, lectotypifications of the treated names and discussion of its affinities with related species. (© 2015 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
