nomenclatural synonym: Dendrobium pectinatum Ridl. nom. illeg.

• Comment: nom. illeg., nom. superfl., as Ridley (J. Straits Branch Roy. Asiatic Soc. 48: 107 (1907)) had published Dendrobium nativitatis Ridl. as a new name for his illegitimate later homonym Dendrobium pectinatum Ridl. The epithet nativitatis was available in Ephemerantha in 1961 and thus ought to have been adopted by Hunt & Summerhayes.
