Scaphyglottis bidentata is a species of orchid found in the American tropics from Costa Rica to northern Brazil . It is the type species of the genus Hexisea, and was published before the generic epithet Scaphyglottis. In a reversal of the usual rules for taxonomy, the genus Scaphyglotts was conserved against Hexisea when the two genera were combined.<ref>Robert Louis Dresssler, "Proposal to Conserve Scaphyglottis Against Hexisea (Orchidaceae)."
