This beautiful little Orchideous plant is, perhaps, the 
smallest of the Genus, of which 19 species are enumerated 
in Mr. Brown's * Prodromus;" and the greater part of them 
are natives of the vicinity of Port Jackson or of Van Dieman's 
Land. Some of them have been successfully cultivated at 
the Kew Gardens, and 3 are figured in the Botanical Maga- 
zine.
