Echinosepala
''Echinosepala'' is a proposed genus of orchids comprising the subgenera ''Silenia'' and ''Satyria'' of the genus ''Myoxanthus''. There is little reason to resist this change, thus ''Echinosepala'' is widely accepted. The genus contains 8 species. The genus was formerly known as ''Echinella'' Pridgeon & M.W.Chase, but as this latter also refers to an algae genus, it has been changed to ''Echinosepala''.
