Anoectangium subgen. Erpodium
According to Crum & Anderson (1981) the generic name is derived “from the Greek erpo, a word meaning creeping” (related to the Latin serpens and to the word herpetology). They stated that “it seems appropriately chosen, in the context of the original publication, as a subgeneric division of Anoectangium.”
