free, obliquely three-nerved. Petals lanceolate, spreading. Lip oblong-quadrate, with a short claw and a long recurved 
tail; several rows of stipitate glands run down the lamina, and are continued on to the tail. Column curved, 
winged, bifid at the top, lobes toothed. Anther-case adnate, hidden behind the broad stigma on the face of the 
column below the apex, very broad, two-celled. (Name from adn», a gland, and xenos, a lip.)—PrA-TE LVI. 4.

Terrestrial tuberous-rooted herbs, more or less glandular. Leaves one or two. Flowers solitary or several. 
Upper sepal plane or hooded; two lateral free or joined at the base; petals narrow. Lip with a claw, rarely ses- 
sile, entire or three-lobed, sometimes narrowed ; dise with two or more rows of stipitate glands. Column curved,

(Tas. LVI. B.) 
Has. Northern Island. Dry clay hills, abundant, Edyerley, ete.

glandular hairs. Leaf solitary, very slender, linear. Flower nearly erect, 4 inch broad, pink. —PLATE LVI. B.

2. Caladenia Zyallii, Hook. fil.; radice tunicata, folio radicali anguste lineari, caule pilis patulis 
glanduloso medio 1-bracteato 1-2-floro, floribus bracteatis, sepalis lineari- v. obovato-oblongis acuminatis, 
labelli lobo intermedio brevi subulato recurvo. 
Has. Middle Island. Otago, Lyall. 
A very much larger-flowered and stouter species than C. minor, with one to two flowers, each twice as large 
as in that species, and broad sepals, which are linear-oblong, or obovate and acuminate. (This is probably the Cala- 
denia No. 4 of ‘Flora Antarctica,’ p. 70.) 
3. Caladenia? 62folia, Hook. fil.; glanduloso-pubescens, folis 2 basi caulis suboppositis ovato- 
oblongis subacutis, scapo nudo, flore solitario basi bracteato, sepalis petalisque linearibus, labello vix 
unguiculato late obovato basi glandulis 9-seriatis ornato, columma breviter alata, anthera ad apicem co- 
lumnz sessili. 
Has. Middle Island. Otago, Lyall. 
This is apparently the Orchideous plant No. 5 Caladenia ? of Lord Auckland’s Group mentioned in the * Flora 
Antarctica,” p. 70, and differs from Caladenia in the almost sessile labellum.— Whole plant glandular, 4 inches high, 
robust. Root of small tubers and thick large fibres. Leaves nearly opposite, sessile, 1 inch long, ovate-oblong. 
Scape with one bract below the flower. Ovary obovate, + inch long. Flower rather large, 3 inch across. Sepals 
and petals linear, blunt. Lip obovate, with two short rows of linear glands near the base. Column with narrow 
wings and the anther at the top. —This differs from Caladenia in having two leaves, but the upper of them is re- 
presented in the other species of the genus by the bract on the middle of the scape.
