Jones, D.L. (1988), Native Orchids of Australia: 438-439 [primary reference]

• Comment: Jones cites the authorship of this designation as "(C. White) M. Clements & D. Jones", which may indicate an intention to publish a new combination based on Dendrobium phalaenopsis var. compactum C.T.White. However, there is no full and direct reference to a basionym as required by ICN Art. 41.5 (Shenzhen Code, 2018) and Jones does not provide the information necessary to publish the name of a new taxon under ICN Art. 39.1 and ICN Art. 40.1 (Shenzhen Code, 2018), as the description given is in English and no type is indicated.
