• Type: "Victoria. East Gippsland: Blond Bay Wildlife Reserve, beside Banksia Track, J.A.Jeanes 3111 & J.Turner (holo CANB, iso MEL)."

• Etymology: "The Latin capparinus, a vague colour term meaning greenish-brown, referring to the colours prominent in the flowers of the new species. This epithet has been chosen to distance this orchid from Corunastylis rufa with which it has been long confused but in fact shares few similarities, especially flower colour."
