• Text: "Im Jahre 1858 ist dasselbe als Dendrobium Sphepherdi von F. Muller (Fragmenta. I. 190) beschreiben worden. Da ich nicht gewohnt bin, vorauszusetzen, dass ein Autor Bolbophylla mit Dendrobien verwechselt, habe ich dieselbe Art spater als Bolbophyllum Schillerianum beschrieben (Otto, Hamb. Gtz. 1860. p. 423) und nenne sie nunmehr Bolbophyllum Sphepherdi." [In 1858 it was described as Dendrobium Sphepherdi by F. Mueller (Fragmenta I, 190). Since I am not ready to assume that the author confused bulbophyllums with dendrobiums, I later described this same species as Bolbophyllum Schillerianum (Otto, Hamb. Gtz. 1860. p. 423) and now name it Bolbophyllum Sphepherdi.]
