Help Please - "new" Aussie orchids
 

I'm trying to construct a cross index to David Jones's new book, relating his
plethora of new taxonomies to the better known versions he believes should be
superseded. Currently I'm working on his "Dendrobium Alliance".

There are a couple of taxa that I simply can't find any equivalent for and,
sadly, he provides absolutely no taxonomic information in his text. So, can
anyone tell me what the following Jones (2006) taxa may have originally been
classified as? And, if possible, point me to photos to compare with his book?
Pleeeeeeeaaaaaase?

Cadetia clausa - no entry in the Australian Plant Names Index (APNI); can't find
on the net.
Found Dendrobium clausum/Grastidium clausum on the net and in Baker & Baker.
Described as Pseudobulbs 12"-16". The genus Cadetia is described as a dwarf
genus, so I'm not convinced they're the same thing.

Dockrillia sulphurea - no entry in APNI; no results from the net.

Is there enough interest for me to post my work so far?

Hi Dave

From what you sent me off line, this project is a labour of love!

I'll try to help where I can as it will certainly benefit all growers
interested in Australian orchids.

Cheers

John
