GATE OE A 
A small genus with about ten exotic and three native species. These latter are 
among the most fragrant of all the native orchids, but unfortunately their manner 
of growth makes them unsuitable for cultivation. They grow from fleshy, tub- 
erous roots, usually deep down below the surface, sending up fairly stout, leafless 
stems which climb upon a convenient tree, by means of clusters of fleshy roots 
from the nodes, to a great height; specimens 50 feet tall having been mentioned. 
The native species are:— 
GALEOLA CASSYTHOIDES. Native of South Queensland and New South 
Wales. 
Leafless stems up to about 15 feet in length, dark, stout and vine-like. Flowers
