nomenclatural synonym:
Macdonaldia x macmillanii (Szlach. legitimate
APC Comment:
A hybrid taxon involving Thelymitra antennifera and T. rubra (fide D.L.Jones, Native Orchids Australia 298 (1988)) or T. antennifera and T. megcalyptra (fide J.Jeanes & G.Backhouse, Wild Orchids Victoria Australia 220 (2006)). Records of this taxon from WA represent misapplications to hybrids between Thelymitra antennifera and members of the T. macrophylla complex, including T. macrophylla (T.D.Macfarlane, pers. comm. 2014).
