• Type: "South Australia. Scott's Creek, Dr. and Mrs. Rogers, November 13, 1908. Victoria. Healesville, Mrs. Coleman and Mr. Williamson, November 2, 1923; Mr. J.B. Howie, October 10, 1926. Tasmania. Flinders Island, Dr. C.S. Sutton, November. 1912."

• Comment: Clements, Austral. Orchid Res. 1 (1969) 28, 29 makes an ususual lectotypification; creating two lectotypes – one for `pro parte max.' and one for `pro parte min.' It is clear what he intends, and therefore the lectotypification, although unusual, is probably valid.
