GROUP Fruticetorum Characterized by the sympodial, caespitose habit, few-leaved stems, flattened above, the erect to arching racemose to pluri-racemose inflorescence, producing new racemes from the same peduncle, in successive years, flowers generally non-resupinate, lip 3-lobed, the distal margins of the lateral lobes dentate to short fimbriate.
CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Most Likely this group and Group Philippii are synomonous, at this point I do not know which one takes precedence, I await Eric Hagsater's decision. This group has also been known as Group refractoides.
