Lindley in 1853, confirmed that the distinction between the genera Brassia and Oncidium was slim.
Brassias are distinguished by their very short earless column, and a lip which is not lobed, bearing a callus of two parallel ridges, combined with elongated lateral sepals.
Because of their readily distinguished flowers, most botanists have continued to maintain the Brassias as a separate genus, to save endless confusion with labels which would arise if amalgamation was confirmed, and partly because there appears to be a distinction readily apparent to most growers.

The slender pointed sepals and petals of the flower resemble legs of a spider and the lip of the flower is shaped much like the spider’s body, hence the Brassia is sometimes called the “Spider Orchid’.
