4. Caladenia clavigera (A. Cunn. MSS. in Lindl. Gen. et Sp. Orch. 422) ; patentim villosissima, 
floribus pallide rufis glabris, sepalis apice clavellatis petalisque subzequalibus longissime filiformibus, labello 
medio dilatato integro deinceps abrupte angustato crenato apice recurvo, glandulis disci 4-seriatis, columna 
supra medium dilatata basi bicallosa. (Gunn, 344.) (Tas. OXXII. A.)

Disrris. New South Wales and Victoria.

A very elegant species, about a span high, one- rarely two-flowered, covered with long, patent, villous hairs.— 
Flowers 1 inch across, nearly glabrous. Sepals and petals equal in length, pale-reddish, the former with club- 
shaped tips. Zabellum like that of C. dilatata, but not pectinate, deep red-purple at the tip. Column gradually dilated 
from above the middle. Ovary pubescent.—PrLATE CXXII. 4. Fig. 1, column and petal; 2, labellum; 3, column; 
4, apex of sepal :—all magnified. 
5. Caladenia Patersoni (Br. Prodr. 325) ; molliter patentim villosa, floribus pallidis pubescenti- 
bus, ovariis tomentosis, sepalis longissime filiformibus petalis consimilibus longioribus, labello medio vix 
dilatato argute serrulato et pectinato sensim angustato (interdum longissime caudato) revoluto, disci 
pallidi glandulis parvis 6-seriatis, ungue basi 4-glanduloso, columna basi bicallosa leviter dilatata.

Haz. Abundant in poor soil throughout the Island.—(Fl. Oct., Nov.) (v.v.) 
Disrris. New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. 
Â very common and elegant plant, variable in size and colour, also in the length of the sepals and petals ; 
best known by the form of the (usually pale) labellum, which is very slightly broader in the middle, and gradually 
tapers to a revolute point; the margins of the labellum about the middle are deeply pectinate, but not like those 
of C. dilatata, and the disc bears six rows of glands.—Scapes often robust, 4-10 inches high, one- to three-flowered. 
Leaf 3-5 inches long, often 3 inch broad. Ovary very tomentose. Flowers varying from straw-colour, clouded with 
pale red, to reddish-purple, 14-3 inches in diameter. Sepals and petals nearly equal, very long and slender, some- 
times rather dilated towards the apex. Zabellum gradually narrowed to a point, that is sometimes an inch long, 
and at others short. Pate CXXIIL 4. Fig. 1, column and labellum; 2, labellum; 3, column; 4, pollen :—all

6. Caladenia pallida (Lindl. Gen. et Sp. Orchid. 421); breviter patentim pilosa, bractea scapo 
breviter foliaceo, floribus pallidis glabris, sepalis e basi lanceolatis longissime acuminatis apice scaberulis 
petalis + longioribus, labello ovato-lanceolato a medio paulo dilatato pectinato sensim angustato crenato 
dentato revoluto, disci concoloris glandulis 4-seriatis, columna modice longitudinaliter alata. (Gunn, 907 d 
Has. Circular Head, abundant, Gunn.— (Fl. Oct., Nov.) 
Disrris. South Australia. 
Â very elegant species, and guite distinct from any of the foregoing, easily recognized by the pale colour of 
its flowers, which are smaller, and the sepals and petals broader in proportion to their length.— Leaf narrow-linear, 
almost glabrous. Scape very slender, a span and upwards high, covered with soft, spreading pubescence, the bract 
at the middle with an elongated linear lamina, i inch long. Flowers an inch across, pale, dirty straw-coloured. 
Sepals sometimes thickened towards their apices. 
Labellum deeply and closely erenulate towards its apex. Column 
with narrow wings almost throughout its length. 
$ 3. EUCALADENIA (Lindl.).—Sepals and petals spreading, nearly equal, not having long, acuminate or 
caudate apices.

l Prodr. 324) ; patentim pilosa, folio (magno) lineari-oblongo acuto v. 
obtuso, floribus 1-3 erectis roseis, 
ovario tomentoso, sepalis petalisque oblongo-lanceolatis obtusis subæ-
