[Corysanthes unguiculata R. Brown 



Until Mr. Fit z ge ral d issued his splendid drawings and lucid remarks 

 on Australiau Orchideae, the above-named plant was almost exclusively 

 known from Bauer's plate (18) in Endli eh er 's „Iconographia Generum 

 Plantarum", published 1838, the delineatiou being augmented by extensive 

 analytie details. The writer had never seen the plant, either in the Held 

 or in any collections, to which he had access, unless — as he thinks — he 

 saw plants without any flowers somewhere beyond Brighton, never expecting 

 that it could be this rare floral gern, so long looked for. It may however 

 be readily missed, as being in blossom at the earliest spring, or it might 

 be passed by, regarded from the distance to be C. pruitiosa. 



Bentham indeed informs us („Flora Austral." vi, 350), that it is 

 wanting in the herbarium of the great orchidographer Lindley, and he 

 had only seen three speeimens — one in R. Brovvn's eollection (on which 

 the description in the „Prodromus" p. 328 must have been foimded), and 

 two in C unningham 's , all from the vieinity of Port Jackson. Mr. 

 Fitzgerald saw it also in two places only during his many years' ex- 

 cursions in quest of orchids. Thus it was most gratifying, when in the 

 «ourse of this month Mr. Ch. French, jun , through his persevering 

 botanic searches, not only discovered the plant for Victoria and that rather 

 near the metropolis, but niore, found it in abundance within a limited 

 area on moist soil amongst Lrptospermiim scoparium and Melaleuca squarrosa 

 between Oakleigh and Cheltenham. This will be au indication, how further 

 to search for this species. Anyhovv, now all the prineipal botanic musenm.s 

 ean be supplied. The leaves are occasionall}' somewhat three-lobed and 

 the reddish hue on the under side may sometimes remain much wanting.]
