  • Type: (not designated).
  • Etymology: "These have in fact been separated by Mr. Gunn, who names the species met with in Van Diemen's Land Macdonaldia, after Mrs. Smith, née Macdonald, a lady who has examined the Orchidaceous plants of that island with great care, and from whom a most beautiful series of dried specimens has reached me through the good offices of Mr. Gunn."
