+"This species is similar and can be confused with H. leprieuri. In the Herbarium RENZ and U all the material of the species is misidentified as H. leprieuri. Distinctive features of H. subfiliformis are the slender and usually taller plants, the narrower lip midlobe (0.5 mm in H. subfiliformis vs. 1 mm in H. leprieuri) and the shorter spur (5-6.5 mm vs. 8-12 mm). Examination of the isotype of H. mitomorpha and holotype of H. rudolfi-schlechteri revealed that they are conspecific with H. subfiliformis. Flowers are completely green and the species is typical of seasonally humid places. Flowering time throughout most of the species distribution range occurs mainly at the end of the rainy season."
