An attempt is made to clarify some recent confusion concerning the understanding of the section Cymboglossum Schltr. of the genus Eria. Study of literature and material of the taxa involved leads to the suggestion that the section should be recognized within Eria with so far only one species known to belong here, while at the same time the establishment of a new genus Ascidieria typified by Eria longifolia Hook. fil. and the maintenance of the Eria sect. Secundae Leavitt typified by Eria stricta Lindl. is proposed.
