Let M be an embedded CR manifold, \(p\in \Gamma \subseteq M\) such that \(T_p\Gamma + J(T_p\Gamma )=T_pM+J(T_pM)\) . If \(f=u+iv\) is a continuous CR function whose real part u satisfies \(|u(z)|\le a\exp \left( \frac{-b}{|z-p|}\right) \) for \(z\in \Gamma \) and f vanishes to infinite order at p, then f vanishes on the CR orbit through p. If the exponential decay is satisfied by f itself, the result is due to Joricke (J Geom Anal 6(4):551–611, 1996).
