- Note: Rabeler (1993) notes that, contrary to Rechinger (1988), that Fenzl, as cited in Endlicher (1836–1840), did not propose any new combinations for Hagenia, but placed the genus in the synonymy of his "a. Dichoglottis". The valid placement of Hagenia into subgeneric status was only effected in 1934.
