Salazar, G. A. & Freudenstein, J. V.: Identity and typification of Corallorhiza punctata and C. bulbosa (Orchidaceae). – Taxon 47: 51-54. 1998. – ISSN 0040-0262.
The identity of two orchid taxa described from Mexico as Corallorhiza punctata and C. bulbosa is discussed in the light of original material located at W, and not at P as would be expected. It is concluded that C. punctata falls within the older C. wisteriana and should be treated as a synonym, whereas, C. bulbosa deserves specific recognition, being distinguished from the similar C. maculata by the much smaller mentum which is non-decurrent on the ovary, and the numerous, minute spots on the lip.
