Summary 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.
