Pedicels slender, with a small, elliptical, obtuse, concave 
bractea at the base. Calyx bluntly five-toothed, teeth short, 
especially the upper one, red, as is part of the tube of the 
calyx, the rest green, quite glabrous: the teeth are fringed 
with a very minute, white down. Vexillum obcordate, with 
a short claw ; externally rich reddish-brown with a yellow, 
dorsal line, internally bright orange-red, white, or yellow- 
ish-white in the centre, around which is a dark-red spot 
sending forth radiating lines. Ale obliquely oval, with 
short claws, reddish, or chocolate-coloured. Carina deeply 
boat-shaped, obtuse, yellowish-white, at the extremity deep 
chocolate-coloured. Stamens free. Filaments white, scarce- 
ly shorter than the pistil. Anthers roundish, yellow. Pista 
quite glabrous, red tinged with green at the base. Germen 
linear-lanceolate. Style subulate, obtuse. 
‘This is another of the numerous interesting discoveries of 
Mr. Atian Cunnineuam, by whom it was introduced to the 
Royal Gardens at Kew, whence it was kindly communi- 
cated by Mr. Arron. It inhabits the more elevated, dry, 
barren parts of the Blue Mountains of New Holland, where 
it flowers in October. In the greenhouse at Kew its blos- 
soming season is June. Mr. Cunnincuam observes, that it 
appears to be allied to D. racemulosa of Dz Canpo.ze, and 
to D. wmbellata of Sir J. E. Smiru ; but that it is really 
distinct from both.
