A Note on Nomenclature
This is one of the Australian species involved in a proposed change of genus name from Dendrobium, as it has been known since its discovery and identification, to Dockrillia. The purpose of this proposed change is to create a separate new genus which would group together a number of terete-leaved species heretofore classified as being in the Dendrobium genus. Although this change has been promoted by Australian botanists for the past couple of decades and is used by Australian botanists, it has not yet been accepted by the Royal Horticultural Society, which is the registering authority.
