P, parriflora was noticed on some sources of the Lachlan-River 

 (Dr. Lauterer). Attains in luxuriant culture a heigt of l 1 /^ feet. 



P. aphylla grows on various places near Port-Phillip (C. French) 

 extends to the Crampiana (Walter). Cultivated it bears flowers here in 

 April already. 



P. rufa, Blackwood-River (Mrs. M'Hard), Eucla (Batt), Fowler's-Bay 

 (Mrs. Richards), Cornet-River (O'Shanesy), Ovens-River (Falk), Cardinia- 

 Creek (French), Blue Mountains (Woolls), Hunter's-River (Miss Carter), 

 Moreton-Bay (Fitzgerald). 



P. barbata we have now from near Port-Phillip, from the Upper 

 Loddon (Wooster), Mt. Macedon (Moffatt), Omeo (Stirling), Grampians 

 (Walter), Gerangamete (M'Cann), Anderson's Creek (Coghill), Cootamundra 

 (Fitzgerald), Kent's Group (Gabriel). 



P. turfosa is extremely close in affinity to the preceding species. 

 Height to 1 V 2 feet. The end of the labellum is dilated. Flowers in 

 September. Figured in G. Reichenbach's „Xenia", on plate 187. 



P. mutica reaches the Peel-River (Musson) and Fowler's Bay (Mrs. 

 Richards), flowering there in July. P. cycnocephala is a mere variety. 

 P. rufa occurs also on the Hume-River (Ch. French, jun.), on the 

 Campaspe-River (Berthoud). 



P. longifolia may exceptionally become one-flowered, which can 

 be said also of the following species. Hume-River (Jephcott), Loddon 

 (G. Johnson), York's-Peninsula (Beythieu), Hunter's-Island (Atkinson). 



P. vittata flowers here in June. Mr. Smeaton refers to this well 

 marked plant in the transaction of the R.S. of S.A. VI., 100 (1881). His 

 Honour Sir Lambert Dobson found it on Deal-Island of Kent's Group, 

 Miss Elizabeth Parkinson near the Lower Wimmera. See also Wing's 

 „Southern Science Record", L, 120 (1881). The flowering time also of 

 many South-west Australian orchids was recorded by Preiss already about 

 50 years ago, in Lehmann's „Plantae Preissianae", according to the various 

 regions, in which they grow. Supplemental notes on indigenous orchids 

 of other genera will be offered on some early occasion.
