Research Notes Name Changes in the Orchid Genus Corybas Salisbury By Edwin D. Hatch Laingholm, Auckland, S.W.4 [Read before the Auckland Institute, June 15, 1955; received by Editor, June 28, 1955.] When I described Corybas saprophyticus from Wellsford in 1950, I was unaware that Schlechter had already used that name for a quite different Corybas species from New Guinea. My name must be rejected as a later homonym under Article 74 of the International Code, and I propose using in place of it— Corybas cryptanthus Hatch. New name. Syn. Corybas saprophytics Hatch in Trans. Roy. Soc. N.Z. 79: p. 366. 1952 not of Schlechter in Fedde. Repert Beitr. 1: p. 21. 1911 (Corysanthes saprophytica) and ibid. 19: p. 22. 1924 (Corybas saprophyticus). Edwin D. Hatch Auckland, S.W.4 Laingholm
