Galeottiella is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. Traditionally it had been included in subtribe Spiranthinae, but following molecular phylogenetic and morphological studies it is now placed in a subtribe on its own, Galeottiellinae.[1][2][3]
Galeottiella is native to the mountain ranges of Mexico and adjacent Guatemala. It includes two known species (as of June 2014):[4]
- Galeottiella orchioides (Lindl.) R.González ex Rutk., Mytnik & Szlach. - Jalisco
- Galeottiella sarcoglossa (A.Rich. & Galeotti) Schltr. - from Durango to Guatemala
