Bentham (& Index Kewensis) and Clements, Austral. Orchid Res. 1: 18 (1989)) refer to F.Mueller, Fragm. 3: 40 (1862), however Mueller indicated, but did not validly make the combination therein. Clements, Austral. Orchid Res. 1: 18 (1989) accepts this name over Bulbophyllum crassulifolium (A.Cunn.) Rupp, because the basionym is a taxon of uncertain status.
Although Mueller did not validly publish the combination in 1862, the first legitimate publication of this name was made by Reichenbach in 1870 therefore Bentham's combination is illegitimate.
