Abstract Two new species, Corybas iridescens and C.
papa, are described and illustrated; both are summer-green terrestrial
orchids previously included in the C. rivularis complex. C.
iridescens and C. papa are especially common on roadside banks in
western-central North Island, and the latter may prove to be confined to this
region. C. rivularis s.s. and C. orbiculatus are circumscribed
and illustrated, and the former name is typified. Other entities placed under
the name C. rivularis require further taxonomic assessment.
