Abstract The type material of Acianthus rivu-
laris A. Cunn. is identical with the species currently
called Corybas orbiculatus (Col.) L. B. Moore, leav-
ing the species mistakenly known as Corybas
(Corysanthes) rivularis without a name. This spe-
cies is here described as Corybas acuminatus, and
Corybas orbiculatus becomes a synonym of Cory-
bas rivularis.
