10 Ewo/rt, White mid Bees: 



Three varieties are recognisable under this species. 



(1) Variety fulva, Avith rusty-coloured leaves. This has been 

 raised to specific rank as A. crypto phi ehum by Dr. Marg. 

 Zemann. (Herb. Musei Palat, Vindob.). 



(2) Variety cryptophleba is wrongly given in Bailey's Flora 

 of Queensland under A. Lejourdanii. The leaves are larger, 

 whiter, and do not possess the numerous short, sharp teeth 

 mentioned by Bailey. Various localities in Queensland. 



(3) Variety null u me use. (A. nullumense, R. T. Baker.) This 

 is intermediate, having more the leaf shape and smaller leaves 

 of variety fulva. but the silvery under-surface of var. crypto- 

 phleba. 



Atkiplex lobativalve, Y. v. M. Icon. Austr. Salsol., pi. 6 ; 

 and Vict. Nat., ix., 1893, p. 187. 



This species is wrongly given as A. lativalre in the Kew 

 Index, 1st Suppl., 1886-1895. 



Calkya Sullivaxi, F. v. M. (Orchidaceae). 



Recorded by C. French for Gisborne in the Vict. Nat., vol. 22, 

 1906, p. 163."^ 



The plant proves to be a form of Caleana minor, R. Br. Only 

 a single authentic specimen of C. Siillivani is known, and this 

 is from, the Grampians. It may prove to be merely a somewhat 

 aberrant form of C. minor. 



Calochilus paludosus, K. Br. (Orchidaceae). 



Recorded by Mr. F. M. Reader as new to Victoria in Vict. 

 Nat., 1909, vol. xxv., p. 171. 



The specimen proves to be C. Rohertsoni, Benth., a Victorian 

 species. It has the shortly-rostrate anther of that species, and 

 tallies exactly with specimens identified by Mueller and by 

 Bentham, and also with an earlier specimen of Mr. Reader's. 

 Mueller proposed at one time (Fragm., v. 96) to unite the 3 

 Australian species, but subsequently abandoned this view. 

 Though close, the species seem to be distinguished by valid con- 

 stant characters.
