A very small genus of delicate green herbaceous Austrahan, Tasmanian, and New Zealand plants, with tuberous
roots, slender stems, solitary, broad, cordate leaves, and few-flowered racemes of expanded somewhat two-lipped
greenish flowers. Tipper sepal and petals narrow, erect, or ascending, the latter sometimes refiexed; two lower
sepals also narrow, deflexed. Lip deflexed, with an oblong membranous lamina, a short claw, and two lumps at
the base. Column curved, winged above. Anther terminal. (Name from svpros, curved, aud oraXos, a style.)

Leaf from near the root, 4- I inch long, oblong-ovate, blunt, apiculate, generally deeply cordate at the base, rarely
narrowed iuto a blunt petiole. Flowers usually one or two, 4 inch long from tip of upper sepal to that of lip,
yellow-green, with a membranous red-brown tip. Sepals and petals very narrow. Lip oblong, tip often rather
dilated, retuse and apiculate.

Very similar to C. oblonga, but smaller, shorter, with an orbicular leaf, blunt aud cordate at the base, and narrower
bp, rather narrower at the base than above; the latter organ is however a variable one in C. oblonga.

A much larger species than either of the former. X e« /1 -14 inch broad. 2-5 inches high. Flowers
i - f inch long, from the upper sepal to end ot labebum ; the latter is narrow, linear-oblong.

1. Adenochilus gracilis, Hook. fil. (T.ib. E V I. A.)
H ab. N o rth e rn Islan d . Bay of P lenty, Colendo.
A veiy curious plant, intermediate between CJiilogîottis, Caladenia, and Eriochilus ; differing from the former in
the solitary leaf, glandular perianth, and want of the appendix at the base of the lip ; from Caladenia in habit and
two-lobed column ; and from Eriochilus in the glandular labebum and sessüe lateral sepals, agreeing however with
that genus remarkably in habit, and in the very long ovary. Stems slender, a span high, with one ovate, oblong,
acute, membranous, sessüe leaf, placed half-way up, f inch long. Flower solitary, glandular, erect. Ovary slender,
f inch long, surrounded with a sheathing bract at the base. Ferianth 4 inch long ; leaflets aU acuminate, glandular.
Tipper sepal hooded, adnate to the base of the column as in Flerostylis ; lateral longer, placed under the labeUum,
free, obliquely three-nerved. Petals lanceolate, spreading. Lip oblong-quadrate, with a short claw and a long recurved
tail ; several rows of stipitate glands run down the lamina, and are continued on to the tail. Column curved,
winged, bifid at the top, lobes toothed. Anlher-case adnate, hidden behind the broad stigma on the face of the
column below the apex, very broad, two-celled. (Name from abr\v, a gland, and ysiXof, a lip )—P l a t e LVI. A.

A very much, larger-flowered and stouter species tlian C. minor, with one to two flowers, each twice as large
as in that species, and broad sepals, which are liuear-oblong, or obovate and acuminate. (This is probably the Caladenia
No. 4 of ‘ Flora Antarctica,’ p. 70.)

This is apparently the Orchideous plant No. 5 Caladenia ? of Lord Auckland’s Group mentioned in the ‘ Flora
Antarctica,’ p. 70, aud differs from Caladenia in the almost sessile labellum.—Whole plant glandular, 4 inches high,
robust. Root of small tubers and thipk large fibres. Leaves nearly opposite, sessile, 1 inch long, ovate-oblong.
Scape with oue bract below the flower. Ovary obovate, l inch long. Moioer rather large, f inch across. Sepals
and petah linear, bluut. Lip obovate, with two short rows of linear glands near the base. Column with narrow
wings and tbe anther at the top.—This differs from Caladenia in having two leaves, but the upper of them is represented
in the other species of the genus by the bract on the middle of the scape.
