The critical study of the relevant literatures, type image, herbarium and living specimens of Herminium macrophyllum (D. Don) Dandy revealed that this species clearly belongs to the genus Peristylus Blume and should not be treated in the genus Herminium. Therefore, a new combination is proposed to transfer Herminium macrophyllum (D. Don) Dandy to the genus Peristylus.
