  • Etymology: "In submitting a new and, I hope, a permanent name, I gladly adopt Dr. Roger's suggestion that the species in future be recognized as B.Macphersonii, Not only has Mr. Macpherson brought the plant lo light again, and so rendered the settlement of its position practicable, but he is doing most valuable work in "re-discovering" other little-known orchids of North Queensland."
