  • Text: "Ledgeria ad Galeolam ducitur, quo modo L. aphylla nomen Galeolae altissimae accipit."
  • Comment: Mueller's reference has been treated by some authors as the publication of a replacement name for Ledgeria aphylla F.Muell and thus of an illegitimate later homonym "Galeola altissima F.Muell.". However, Mueller's commentary forms part of a larger listing of names of Australian orchids that have recently changed due to an (unspecified) publication by H.G.Reichenbach. Mueller's publication is thus treated here as a secondary reference.
