"H. rodeiensis is very similar to Habenaria longipedicellata, H. lehmanniana and H. tamanduensis , and the exact identity of each of these taxa and the separation between them is not clear. Until a more detailed comparative study is done, we provisionally treat here all the material in this group from lowlands in the Brazilian Amazon as H. longipedicellata." Joćo A. N. Batista; Joćo Batista F. da Silva; Luciano de Bem Bianchetti 2008
