  • Type: "New South Wales, R.D. Fitzgerald s.n. (holo BM!). [sic]"
  • Comment: Clements lists the type material of this name as originating from New South Wales but Fitzgerald (1882) indicated that the plant had been collected from Western Australia. Clements' citation appears to be in error for Prasophyllum attenuatum Fitzg. (1885), a species described from material collected in New South Wales.
