J. J. Smith, Fl. Buitenz. 6 and Orch, Anib. 11. cc, reduces Phalaenopsis

 makes it a synonym of Sarcochilus caligaris Ridl. J. J. Smith also considers 

 Sarcochilus cladostachys Hook. f. Fl. Brit. Ind. 6 (1890) 35, in Ann. Roy. 

 Bot. Gard. Calc. 5 (1895) 43, t. 65 to be conspecific, but Ridley considers
