Capillipedium (common name scented-tops)[2] is a genus of plants in the grass family.[3][4][5] They are native to Africa, Asia, Australia, and certain islands in the Western Pacific.[6][7]

Capillipedium mistryi is an exception in the genus from India in which solid instead of translucent pedicels are seen and spikelets are multispiculated, racemes comprising up to 25 spikelets.[3] A recently described species, C. yashwantraoi, from Madhya Pradesh, India has been subsumed under the former as a new heterotypic synonym.[8]
