N. Australia. Moist sandy pastures on tlie Victoria rivefj near Steep Head, F»^ 

 Maeller. This seems to me to be a more glandular variety of 5. schizanikim, I do not 

 quite understand the differences described in the form of the corolla. As far as I can ascer- j. 

 tain from the dried specimens, it seems to nie to be the same in both. ^

60. S. uliginosum, Sivartz ; DC. Prod. vii. 336, A small, slender 

 annual, glabrous or witlx a very few sniallj glandular hairs on the inflores- 

 cence. Leaves radical, ovate or orbicular, 2 to 5 lines long. Scape erect, 

 3 to 5 in. high, simple or slightly branched. Flowers sessile along the 

 scape or its branches, each in the axil of a small bract. Calyx about 3 lines 

 long, the lobes linear, free or shortly united in 3 lips, half as long as the 

 tube. Corolla scarcely longer than the calyx-lobes, the upper lobes rather 

 longer and bltid. Capsule linear, about 3 lines long. — Benth, Fl. Hongk.

Queensland. Endeavour river. Banks and Solander ; Shoalwater Bay, R^ Bioicn. 

 This species is also h\ Ceylon and South Chinaj and a rather more robust variety in Silhct, 

 Chittagong, and the Jlalayan peninsula. 



61. S. pulchellum, Sond. in PL Preiss. i. 381. Glabrous, except a 

 minnte and rare glandular pubescence on the inflorescence. Stock very small 

 and slender, but slightly bulbous with the dilated, scarious, lanceolate bases 

 of the petioles. Leaves few, radical, with an obovate, oval or oblong obtuse 

 lamina of 2 or rarely 3 lines. Scape filiform, 2 to 4 in. high, leafless, bear- 

 ing a loose, corymbose panicle of y to 1 in., with small, narrow, obtuse 

 bracts. Flowers pedicellate. Calyx 2 to 2-^ lines long, the lobes free, 

 nan'ow, shorter than the ovary. Corolla-tube nearly as long as the calyi- 



. lobes, without appendages to the throat or to the small, obtuse labellum. 

 Capsule linear, about 2 lines long, but not seen quite ripe. — S, cort/mhosuMj

"W. Australia. King George's Sound, Baxter ; Swan River, HiiegeJ^ Drummond^ \si 

 CoJL n, 520, Srd Coll. n. 180 ; Bull's Creek, Preiss, w. 2242 ; Tone and Murray rivers, 

 Oldjield. Very closely allied to S. petiolare^ and perhaps a variety, but the flowers appear 

 to be smaller and more regularly corymbose, and the capsule narrower. 



62. S. petiolare, Sond. in PL Preiss. i. 382. Glabrous, except a very 

 few small, glandidar hairs on tlie inflorescence. Stock small and slender, 

 but the dilated bases of the petioles form a little bulb, at first ovoid and 

 pale brown, in the older plants much darker, and attaining 3 lines diameter. 

 Leaves radical, the lamina from oblon*^-Iinear to ovate, obtuse, usually 2 to 3 

 lines long. Scape slender, 2 to 4 or rarely 5 in. hijj^h, leafless except the 

 small bracts, branching in the upper part into an irregular corymb or rarely 

 reduced to a single flower, the pedicels long and slender. Calyx 2^ to nearly 

 3 lines long, the lobes much shorter than the tube, obtuse or acute. Corolla 

 pink, larger than in the allied species, the tube as long as the calyx-lobes, 

 the lobes entire or slightly emarginate, the throat witli small appendages, the 

 labellum without any. Capsule narrow-oblong, about 2 lines long. — S. obtu- 

 Saturn, Sond- 1. c.
