Names for five species of Orchidaceae from New Zealand described by Joseph Dalton Hooker and William Colenso are here typified. This includes lectotypes for Nematoceras trilobus Hook.f. (the basionym of Corybas trilobus (Hook.f.) Rchb.f.), Thelymitra nemoralis Colenso , Thelymitra nervosa Colenso and Thelymitra purpureo-fusca Colenso. We also report finding the holotype of Thelymitra concinna Colenso at WELT and discuss synonymisation of T. decora Cheeseman with T. nervosa .
