• Type: "Both plants have been found at the Tweed River, New South Wales."

• Comment: A.W.Dockrill, Austral. Indig. Orchids 1 (1969) 572 wrongly refers to this species as "Adelopetalum bracteatum (F.M.Bail.) Fitzg., Austr. Orchids 2, pt. 5 (1893)" under Bulbophyllum bracteatum Bailey, but Fitzgerald's description in J. Bot. (above) predates Bailey's description of Bulbophyllum bracteatum.
