686 ORCHIDES. [Calochilus. 
broadly winged; stigma broad, placed under the erect rostellum. 
Anther large, terminal, erect or incumbent, obtuse or pointed, 
2-celled ; pollinia granulayr. 
A genus of 3 very closely related species, all natives of Australia, 2 of them 
extending to New Zealand as well. 
Anther long, rostrate. Column-wing with a gland on 
each side near the base just within the front margin .. 1. C. campestris. 
Anther short, obtuse. Column-wing without any gland, 
but 2 small erect lamelle on each side of the base of the 
lip oe Ae ae Sr 4. .. 2. C. paludosus. 
1. C. campestris, R. Br. Prodr. 320.—Stem stout, 6-18 in. 
high. Leaf usually solitary, rarely 2, much shorter than the stem, 
narrow-linear, thick, channelled; cauline leaves or bracts 1 or 2, 
sheathing. Flowers 2-8, greenish-purple; pedicels $-lin. long; 
bracts acuminate. Upper sepal 4-4in. long, broadly ovate, 
acute, concave ; lateral narrower. Petals shorter, broadly oblong, 
faleate, veined. Lip 4-%in. long; margins and upper surface 
except the slender flexuous tip covered with long reddish-purple 
hairs or fimbriz, which are longest on the upper part of the lip, 
and shortest near the base, where they are reduced to clavate calli; 
usually there is a narrow strip across the very base of the lip which 
is smooth and bare. Column-wings dilated in front and produced 
into a rounded lobe on each side, on the inner face of which is a 
conspicuous gland. Anther long, triangular, rostrate.—Benth. FI. 
Austral. vi. 315; Fitzgerald, Austral. Orch. i. pt. 4; Kirk m Trans. 
N.Z. Inst. xxiv. (1892) 427.

vember—December. 
This doubtless has as wide a range as the following species, but so far I 
have seen no specimens except from Rotorua. These exactly match the plate 
in Fitzgerald’s Australian Orchids, with the exception that the fimbrie on the 
lip never show any trace of blue, but are always red. 
2. C. paludosus, &. Br. Prodr. 320.—Very similar in habit and 
appearance to C. campestris, but usually (though not always) more 
slender, with a rather longer and narrower leaf. Flowers seldom 
more than 4. Sepals and petals much as in C. campestris. Lip 
longer, the surface and margins with long red fimbriz, the linear 
bare tip longer, and the base with a thin longitudinal raised plate 
on each side. Column-wing dilated in front and produced into a 
rounded lobe on each side, not furnished with a gland on the inner 
face. Anther short, as broad as long, obtuse, neither acuminate 
nor rostrate.—Benth. Fl. Austral. vi.316; Fitzgerald, Austral. Orch. 
i. pt. 4; Buch. m Trans. N.Z. Inst. xv. (1883) 240.
