oblong, obtuse. "Flowers nearly sessile. Calyx nearly \ in. long, the lobes 

 very sliort, broad and obtuse, cohering more or less in two lips. Corolla 

 without appendages to the throat, the labelluin very short, without any or 

 with 2 short appendages. Capsule linear or linear-lanceolate, about \ in. 



long or more 



*W. Australia. Swan River, Preiss, n. 2273 (in fruit), Dniminond, n. 29 (a sinjile 

 specimen in flower). Souder describes the calyx-lobes as acute, but probably by mistake, 

 as in both the above specimens they are remarkably obtuse. 



Var. ieneUam, Smaller and more slender, but equally divaricate and dichotomous. — 

 iS. dimricaium^ Sond. in PI. Preiss. i. 385.— Vasse river, Freiss, n. 2274. 



Var.? macro carp am. Panicle less divaricate and not so corymbose, the lower branches 

 being sometimes shorter. Capsule sometimes f in. long. — Swan River, Collie ; Murchisou 

 river, Oldfield^ also Drummond^ n. 131, %nd ColL n. 211. 



S. riffidiclum, Sond. in PL Preiss. i. 389, which I have not seen, and of which the precise 

 locality is not given, mny be a small form of this species with the stem or stock 1 in. long 

 below the leaves, and the flowers reduced to very few. 



67. S. uniflornm, Sond. in PL Preiss, i. 381. Stock densely tufted or 

 shortly proliferons. Leaves radical, very narrow-linear, 1 to 2 in. long, 

 glabrous and smooth or with cartilnginous-serrulate margins. Scapes 

 slender, l-flo\vered, scarcely exceeding the leaves or rarely 3 or 4 in. high, 

 ciliate-hirsute, leafless except a small bract under the flower. Calyx haiiy, 

 but scarcely glandular, about 4 lines long, the lobes free, short, and narrow. 

 Corolla pale flesh-coloured, the tube very short; lobes unequal, with appen- 

 dages to the labellum but scarcely any to the throat. Capsule linear-falcate, 

 contracted towards the end, 5 to 6 lines long.

6S. S.pedunculatum, R, Br. Prod, 571. A perennial, sprinkled with 

 a few hfiirs, forming a short, leafy stem of about y in. below the terminal 

 tuft. ■ Lower leaves rosulate at the base of the stem but often soon disap- 

 pearing, oblong-lanceolate or almost ovate, 1 to 8 lines long, narrowed into a 

 short petiole, those of the stem few, scattered and linear, those of the terminal 

 tuft numerous, narrow-linear, terminating in long, hair-like points. Scapes 

 or peduncles amongst the terminal leaves numerous, filiform, 1 -flowered, 1 to 

 2 in. long. Calyx-lobes very small, the 2 lower ones united at first, all at 

 length free. Corolla very small, the lobes unequal, without appendages to 

 the throat or labellum {R. Brown). Capsule glabrous, linear, 3 to 4 lines 

 long.— DC. Prod. vii. 337 ; >S'. hryoides, F. Mueli. Fragm. vi. 91.

69. S, pachjrrMznm^ Z MnelL Fragm. i. 152. Glabrous. Stem or 

 stock thick, erect, 1 to 2 in. high, branching at the top. Leaves few, scat- ^ 

 tered, more crowded under the scapes, petiolate, oblanceolate or spathnlate, # 

 rather thick. Peduncles or scapes several, 3 to 6 in. long, branching from 

 near the base into a loose, spreading, corymbose panicle. Flowers sessile in 

 the forks or terminafing the branches. Calyx-lobes linear, free or the lower 

 ones more or less united, much shorter than the slender tube. Corolh^
