SUBGENUS Rubellia Luer 1986
A monotypic subgenus separated by the habit similar to Subgenus specklinia, the ciliate lip that has a large, rounded, concave, pubescent callus at the base which is possibly a greatly modified glenion. The short, terete column has an exposed apical anther and stigma such as in Subgenus Pleurothallis.
