niæ vix lineam longæ, glabræ. Stamina medio tubo inserta, an- 
theris linearibus vix e tubo prominulis. Discus epigynus crassus, 
bilobus. Stylus apice leviter pilosulus, lamellis stigmatosis ovatis. 
Capsula generis, 3 lin. lata. 
Among the numerous species of Ophiorrhiza, this comes nearest to 
O. rugosa, Wall., which it much resembles at first sight, but the plant 
is smaller and more slender, the peduncle shorter, and especially the 
corolla smaller and differently shaped. From ravines of Mount Vic- 
toria, but not very common.

dunculus ultrapollicaris, cyma 7-flora. Bractee parve, subulate. 
Pedicelli calyce breviores. Calycis tubus late turbinato-globosus, 4 
lin. longus, obtuse 10-costatus, dentibus triangularibus parvis pa-

minute puberulis. Discus epigynus bilobus, dentes calycinos fere 
duplo superans. Stylus medio hispidus, lamellis stigmatosis oblongis. 
Found by Colonel Eyre in sheltered ravines, near water. The species 
es not come very near to any that I am acquainted with ; the whole 
plant assumes a remarkable red hue when dry.
