"The original spelling was laertis which was altered without explanation to laevis in Australian Orchids. As the former has no apparent meaning it seems best to regard it as a typographical error and maintain laevis, which has been used by all subsequent workers."

"In Australian Orchids, 2:3, Fitzgerald cites Albany. There is one sheet at BM, labelled 'Wilson's Inlet, Sept.' in Fitzgerald's hand, which may be taken as the lectotype."
