which Bentham, rightly, I think, has reduced to G. carnea. 

 These are G. carnea, R. Br., with pink sepals and petals, an 

 erect dorsal sepal, and several rows of golden glands on 

 the lip ; C. alata, R. Br., taller, more robust, with nearly 

 white sepals and petals, erect dorsal sepal, and four rows 

 of pink calli on the lip ; G. angustata, with rose-coloured 

 flowers, an arched dorsal sepal, broader lateral sepals and 

 petals, and four rows of calli on the lip. All these have 

 transverse bars of pink at the base of the side-lobes of the 

 lip, and on the column. The side-lobes are hardly pro- 

 duced into lobes in alata and angustata. I have cited 

 Smith's Arethusa catenata as a doubtful synonym, because 

 the lip is figured as blue. G. carnea is described by 

 Mr. Fitzgerald as self-fertilizing. The Royal Gardens are 

 indebted to Mr. J. O'Brien, of Harrow-on-the-Hill, for 

 tubers of the white-flowered variety here figured, which 

 flowered in a stove in February of the present year. The 

 figure of the pink-flowered var. is taken from the " Flora 

 Tasmania!." 



Descr. — Stem six to twelve inches high, from nearly 

 glabrous to more or less hairy and glandular. Leaves 

 linear, variable in length. Flowers one to four, an inch 

 to an inch and a half broad. Sepals and petals similar, 

 white, pink, or greenish clouded with red, linear-lanceolate, 

 sub-acute, all but the dorsal sepal more or less deflexed. 

 Lip about half as long as the dorsal sepal, recurved beyond 

 the middle, lateral lobes broad, obtuse, streaked with 

 red, terminal small, ovate, with glandular margins, disk 

 with two or more rows of stipitate capitate glands. 

 Column winged. — J. D, H.
