36. DENDROBIUM ? complanatum. 
An epiphyte growing in tufts. It has a flattened base, 
and cultriform distichous leaves: the whole plant, although 
healthy, is of a yellow green colour. On dead trees, in 
shaded woods, at Moreton Bay. 1828. Flowers not seen. 
37. CYMBIDIUM ridifolium ; foliis elongato-linearibus, racemis multifloris 
bracteatis, perianthii foliolis patentibus (exterioribus tribus ellipticis obtusis) 
labello 3-lobato: lobo intermedio linguiformi disco ecarinato glanduloso- 
punctato nitido. 
On decayed trunks of treesin large masses, damp shaded 
woods on the Brisbane River. July 1828. This plant was 
alive at Kew. 
38, CYMBIDIUM ? ; caule radicante scandente, foliis alternis lanceolatis 
acutis subcarnosis, racemis axillaribus laxis, fol. perianthii conniventibus 
labello carnoso 3-lobato, basi cavo. 
A Vanda looking plant, in habit very much like V. tereti- 
folia. Lindl. Coll. bot. t. 6. Can it be Epidendrum. triste, 
Forst. which that Botanist discovered in New Caledonia ? My 
plant, of which I only detected a single specimen, was hang- 
ing to the thin laminated bark of the trunk of Callistemon 
rigidum, in small open savannahs, subject to inundation ; 
near the banks of the Brisbane River. Sept. 1829. 
39. CALANTHE veratrifolia. R. Br. 
In August 1822, whilst on an excursion to the Illawarra, 
a coast district on the south of Port Jackson, I met with a 
plant in dark shaded woods, which I introduced to Kew, in 
the following year, considering it a Bletia. It soon after- 
wards flowered in that collection, and was then ascertained 
to differ in no one respect from the Java plant. They have 
repeatedly been in flower together since that period, and on a 
close critical examination of the two plants, no difference 
could be discovered, excepting that the Australian plant is 
not so purely white in the flower as the Java one; their 
identity is therefore clearly determined. Illawarra district, 
near Port Jackson, (lat. 342. S.) is therefore another locality. 
40. PHAJUS grandifolius. Loureiro. ; 
This plant I discovered in Sept. 1824, growing in exten- 
sive swamps at the back of the beach, on the shores of More-. 
ton Bay, in lat. 273, from whence I sent a large tub of the 
plant to Kew, where, on flowering, it proved to be identical 
with the old Limodorum Tankervillie ; and of its flower 
M. Bauer made a drawing. Moreton Bay therefore is ano- 
ther locality.
