Caladenia leptochila, Fitz., the Narrow-lipped Caladenia, is 

 only recorded from Kewell by J. A. Hill. The narrow labellum 

 is " probably the flattest labellum in the genus." It is dark 

 red-brown, having four rows of calh. 



Caladenia dilatata, R. Br., was for years grouped with C. 

 Patersoni. It is a distinct and well-known species. 



Caladenia clavigera, Cunn., the Clubbed Spider Orchid, is 

 recorded from Alexandra and from South Gippsland. It is 

 often confused with C. Patersoni. The sepals and petals are 

 distinctly clubbed at the ends. 



Caladenia tentaculata, Tate, " Daddy Longlegs," is only 

 recorded from Sea Lake and similar Mallee localities. The petals 

 and sepals are very long and narrow, and the labellum is 

 small. 



Caladenia iestacea, R. Br., Musky Caladenia, was for years 

 grouped with C. carnea. It is a slender plant, the dorsal 

 sepal being dark red and hooded and having a strong musky 

 odour. 



Caladenia angustata, Hook., the Slender Caladenia, is a 

 slender, very long-leaved species, not unlike C. carnea ; only 

 recorded from the Nhill district and the Grampians. 



Caladenia cucullata, Fitz., the Hooded Caladenia, was col- 

 lected by C. French, jun., on the Baw Baws. It is like an 

 enlarged C. carnea, with a distinctly hooded dorsal sepal. The 

 petals and sepals an^ wider tlian those of C. carnea. Dried 

 specimens of this and the former species were found in the 

 herbarium of Mr. H. B. WiUiamson, where they were considered 

 to be forms of Caladenia carnea. 



Caladenia alba, R. Br., C. iridescens, Rogers, C. cardiochila, 

 Tate, and C. cordiforniis, Rogers, are described in another 

 paper.* 



Chiloglottis Mitelleri, F. v. M., the Green Bird Orcliid, was 

 confused for years with C. Giinnii, being considered a green 

 form of this latter. The flowers are green, smaller tlian those 

 of C". Crunnii, and the plants are invariably found growing on 

 tree-fern stumps. The locality is the Dandenong Ranges. 



Chiloglottis trapeziforme, Fitz., the Broad-lipped Bird Orchid, 

 is only recorded from Cravcnsville. The labellum is rhomboid, 

 and the flowers slender and small. 



Chiloglottis Pescottiana, Rogers, tlie Alpine Bird Orchid, 

 also is only found at Cravcnsville. Both of these species were 

 recorded by A. B. Braine. The flowers are greenish-bronzt', 

 and the labellum more oblong and slightly pointed. Both 

 species flower in spring.
