• Type: "Ad cataractam Naroo-fall fluminis Bellinger's River; R. Fitzgerald"

• Comment: Mueller refers to "F.M. Fragm. vii. 97 (annot.)". While Mueller alluded to a new species or variety to be dedicated to Fitzgerald on p. 97 in a note under Sarcochilus falcatus, the binomial Sarcochilus fitzgeraldii was only formally published on p. 115.
