  • Lectotype: This was based on Fitzgerald's illustration of Drakaea elastica in Australian Orchids 2,1. The plate is here designated as the type, as no specimen of Fitzgerlad's has been found. Schlechter was in error thinking that the type of D. elastica has no spots on the labellum. Fitzgerald's plate is correctly named, and is a good representation of the species.
