Taxonomy

In their 2015 review of Orchidaceae taxonomy, Chase and colleagues divided the tribe into two subtribes, Malaxidinae and Dendrobiinae.[1] The latter is treated as a tribe by some authors.

The subtribes included the following genera:[1]

Risleya was previously included, but is now placed in the tribe Collabieae.[1]
