|discussion=<p>Four species have been recognized in <i>Harrisella</i>: <i>H. porrecta</i>, H. filiformis (Swartz) Cogniaux, H. monteverdi (Reichenbach f.) Cogniaux, and <i>H. uniflora</i> Dietrich (H. Dietrich 1982). <i>Harrisella porrecta</i> is sometimes confused with H. filiformis (e.g., N. L. Britton et al. [1923–]1930, vol. [1], part 2); a comparison of the types clearly shows that they are distinct. <i>Harrisella</i> filiformis and H. monteverdi are synonymous and belong to the related genus <i>Campylocentrum</i> (J. D. Ackerman 1995). The Cuban <i>H. uniflora</i> appears to be a depauperate <i>H. porrecta</i>. Nonetheless, the genus may not be monotypic. Mexican populations of <i>H. porrecta</i> do have some distinctive features and may represent at least one additional species (N. M. Warford 1997).</p>
