In 1867, Muller used the name Niemeyera to refer to a very different plant, now placed in the Orchidaceae. This name, although older than the 1870 name in the Sapotaceae, is now considered a rejected name. Hence:
- Niemeyera F.Muell. 1867 - syn of Apostasia Blume 1825
- Niemeyera stylidioides F.Muell. - syn of Apostasia wallichii R.Br.
