Hexisea is a genus of orchids (family Orchidaceae). The genera Costaricaea Schltr. and Euothonaea Rchb.f. are synonyms of Hexisea. This genus is abbreviated Hxsa in trade journals.

Synonymy[]

At the urging of Dressler, Hexisea has been reduced to synonymy under Scaphyglottis, over which Hexisea has priority.^[1] The Hexisea page is conserved here because Dressler's proposal stated, in part: "...those who so wish may retain Hexisea in any circumscription that excludes (the type of Scaphyglottis; see Dressler in Taxon 9:214. 1960)..."
