Satyrium (plant)

''Satyrium'' is a genus of orchid. The Kew plant list for 2010 listed 85 full species as accepted, ignoring synonyms, subspecies and hybrids etc. About ten were still unresolved at the time. Most of the species occur in sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. The ranges of four species extend to Asia, mainly in India and Sri Lanka. Hybridization occurs between several species, complicating molecular phylogenetic studies, especially those relying on mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA sequences.Timotheüs van der Niet, and H. Peter Linder. 2008. "Dealing with incongruence in the quest for the species tree: A case study from the orchid genus ''Satyrium''". ''Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution'' 47(1):154-174. .

The genus most closely related to ''Satyrium'' is presumed to be '' Pachites'', which together with ''Satyrium'' makes up the subtribe Satyriinae of the Diseae. Historically other species with helmet-shaped flowers e.g. '' Aceras'', '' Chamorchis'' and ''Platanthera'', often were included in the genus ''Satyrium'', but far from belonging in the same genus, they no longer are included even within the Satyriinae, but within the tribe Orchideae. In a 2015 classification of Orchidaceae, ''Satyrium'' itself was placed in the subtribe Orchidinae.
