replaced synonym: Dendrobium fusiforme F.M.Bailey nom. illeg. nomenclatural synonym: Dendrobium speciosum var. fusiforme F.M.Bailey legitimate

• Etymology: "The new epithet here proposed is given in memory of the late Rev. H. M. R. Rupp, author of many excellent studies on the Orchidaceae of Australia."
• Text: "...I noted with interest that D. fusiforme F.M.Bail., a native of Australia and New Guinea, is a homonym of D. fusiforme Thou., and hence requires a new name. I therefore wish to propose the following new epithet for the Australian-New Guinean plant."

• Comment: A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 952 (1991) gives this as the place of publication of this replacement name, but as acknowledged by Hawkes his 1964 paper is a reprint of the protologue for Dendrobium ruppianum [i.e. A.D.Hawkes, Orchid Weekly 2(13): 129 (1960)].
