plant is quite an acquisition in the garden. The plant itself is attractive, with its 
long, lanceolate, prominently ribbed, green leaves tapering to a long petiole and 
springing from a small tuber. We have, too, a couple of species of Goodyera 
viridiflora and G. polygonoides, both of them handsome, but difficult to transport 
and grow. There is also a native Anoectochilus reported from two places on the 
Atherton Tableland (Kuranda and Ravenshoe), but as (so far as I know) there is 
only one plant in cultivation at the present time, it is not worth wasting time 
looking for specimens just now. 
There are hundreds of other orchids in North Queensland and I have no doubt 
that many others will be found when the world returns to sanity; and it is one 
of my hopes that I may be able to search these unexamined jungles in the Far 
North and round the Gulf of Carpentaria in the quest for new species and 
perhaps new genera.
