Rai
They are not kin to each other.
But in Taiwan, both genus exist in the wild. Bletilla formosana can be found all over this island while Spathoglottis plicata is restricted to southeast Taiwan. But nowadays, the latter is commonly grown and can be seen everywhere. We seldom grow Bletilla formosana because the wild plants can easily been seen even along the country roads.

Blooms of the wild or cultivated plants I have ever seen are pink-colored. I 've never seen other color version.
