11. S. lineare, Swartz; DC, Troth vii. 333. Glabrous, except tlie in- 

 florescence, like S, graminifolliun^ and resembles that species in its linenr 

 leaves, dilated towards the base, racemose inflorescence and undivided calyx- 

 lips, but it is a smaller species, the leaves very narrow, acute, usually 

 incurved, not exceeding 2 in. and often much shorter. Scapes slender, the 

 raceme 2 to 4 in. long, and much looser than in S, (jrammifoUnm, Flowers 

 smaller, on pedicels of 1 to 2 lines, the calyx-tube linear, and the ripe cap- 

 sale much narrower than in that species. — II. Br. Prud. 568; Ventenatm

If the calyx-lips of S, setaceum, Lubill. PL Nov. Holl. ii.'65 ; DC. I.e. 333; CandoUm 

 setacea, Labill. in Ann. Mas. Par. vi. 455, from the Torre Van Lccumn, are really uudi- 

 videJ as described, they would indicate a species allied to 5. linear e ; in other respects his 

 description answers to S. syuiulosum. 



12. S. elongatum, BentJi. Stock tufted, tlie broad bases of tlie old 

 leaves giving it at length a bulbous aspect. Leaves all radicalj linear, acute 

 or nearly so, flaccid, 4 to S in. long, usually glabrous. Scape rarely twice as 

 long as the leaves, hirsute, with spreading hairs intermixed on the inflores- 

 cence with glandular pubescence. Panicle long and narrow, but mauy- 

 flowerod, almost all the peduncles 3- to 7-flowered. Calyx-lobes free. 

 Corolla without any appendages to the throat, but long ones to the labellum. 

 Capsule ovate. 



M^. Australia, Brummond ; Champion Bay, Oldfidd, Drummond' s Wi Coll. n. 170, 

 appears to be the same species, but with a shorter, looser panicle, almost like that of 

 >S'. asslmlle* la the ripe capsule there are usually only 1 or 2 perfect seeds in each cell. 



13. S. spinnlosum, R, Br. Prod. 569. Stock tufted or shortly proli- 

 ferous, more slender than in S.ccespitosnm, Leaves very narrow-linearj mucro- 

 liate, bordered by minute, cartilaginous sernitures or short hairs, mostly under 

 1 in. long. Scapes about 4 to '8 in. high, sprinkled with a few glandular 

 hairs from the base. Eacemes usually simple, loose, glandular-pubescent or 

 sometimes almost villous, resembling those of -S'. ccesjntosnm. Flowers while, 

 "With red streaks outside like those of S. c<vf^pitosnm, but the appendages of 

 the throat of the corolla prominent, and none on the labellum according to 

 Brown ; these characters, however, may not be constant. Capsule rather 

 narrower than in S. ccespitosum, — DC, Prod. vii. 333; Soncl. in PL Preiss.

S, aciculare, Sond. in PL Preiss. i. 373, from D*Urville's collection, which I have not 

 seen, appears from the character given to be the same species. The character siven of 

 S, seiaceum^ Labill., above quoted, appears also to answer to that of S. S]dnuiosu, 

 that the calyx-lips are said to be undivided as in S. gramtnifolium, 



14. S. caespxtosum^ R. Br. Prod. 569. Glabrous, except a few glan- 

 duhir hairs on the calyx and sometimes on the pedicels, more rarely on the 

 foliage. Stock tufted, scarcely proliferous. Leaves naiTOw-linear, obtuse, acute 

 or with a short point, which is fine but not hair-like as in S.mUferum, mostly
