qualibus, labelli trilobi glandulis biseriatis, lobis lateralibus amplis intermedio lanceolato marginibus longe 
glanduloso-appendiculatis, disco eglanduloso, columna vix alata, anthera longe mucronata.— Zind/. Gen. et

A very pretty plant, readily distinguished from its allies by its broad, large leaf, and pink (rarely white) flowers. 
I have examined two specimens, collected by Archer, near Hobarton, of which the flowers were blue when fresh. 
— Leaf radical, horizontal, 2-6 inches long, linear-oblong, more or less hairy. Scape with spreading hairs, one- to 
three-flowered. Flowers nearly an inch broad. Sepals and petals lanceolate-oblong, blunt (acute, Br.).  Labellum 
deeply three-lobed; the lateral lobes broad, entire, embracing the column. Anther with a long, erect mucro. 
$. Caladenia barbata (Lindl. Gen. et Sp. Orchid. 418); pubescenti-pilosa, folio lineari scapo 
breviusculo breviore, bractea foliacea patente, flore solitario ceruleo erecto, sepalis petalisque lineari-ob- 
longis lanceolatisve subacutis, labello obscure trilobo, lobis omnibus fimbriatis intermedio glanduloso, disei 
glandulis sub-6-seriatis, columna obscure alata, anthera breviter mucronata.—C. unguiculata, Lindl. l. c. 
(Gunn, 347.) (Tas. CXXIII. B.) 
Has. Abundant in grassy pastures, etc., throughout the Island.—(Fl. Sept., Oct.) (v. v.) 
Distris. New South Wales and Victoria. 
This is the common blue Caladenia of Tasmania, characterized by its linear leaf, solitary, nearly erect flower, 
3-1 inch broad, equal, spreading, lanceolate-oblong or linear-lanceolate, subacute sepals and petals, by the labellum 
being obscurely two-lobed and fimbriate to the apex, and by the short mucro to the anther.—Prare CXXIII. B.

9. Caladenia cærulea (Br. Prodr. 327); pilosula, folio lineari, bractea scapo appressa, flore soli- 
tario erecto cæruleo, sepalis petalisque æqualibus lineari-lanceolatis acutis, labello 3-lobo, lobis integerrimis 
transverse vittatis.—Lindl. 1. c. 
Has. Tasmania, Brown. 
DistriB. New South Wales. 
I have seen no Tasmanian specimens of this very distinct species, which is allied to C. barbata, but is more 
slender, less hairy, with a small, appressed bract on the scape; a deeply three-lobed labellum, with broad, entire, 
lateral lobes ; and a small, also entire, revolute middle lobe. 
10. Caladenia carnea (Br. Prodr. 324); pilosula, folio lineari, scapo 1- (rarius 2-)floro, sepalis 
petalisque roseis subæqualibus, sepalo dorsali erecto v. recurvo columnam roseo-vittatam non velante, labelli 
vittati 3-lobi disco glandulis 2-seriatis ornato, lobis lateralibus rotundatis integerrimis dentatisve inter- 
medio brevi revoluto longitudinaliter fimbriato disco nudo.—Lindl. Gen. et Sp. Orchid. 417; Endl. Icon. 
t. 1594. (Gunn, 606, 912.) (Tas. CXXIV. A.) 
Has. Abundant throughout the Island, in grassy places and open forest land.—(Fl. Oct,, Nov.) (v. v.) 
Distris. South-eastern Australia, from the tropics to South Australia. 
A very common, slender, generally one-flowered species, 4-8 inches high, with pilose scape and long-linear 
leaf.— Flowers pink, about 3-4 inch across. Sepals and petals nearly equal, linear-lanceolate, acute; dorsal sepal 
erect, not concave, or covering the column, as in all the following species. Labellum three-lobed, transversely 
banded with pink (as is the column); lateral lobes rounded, entire or toothed; disc with two series of yellow, capi- 
tate glands; middle lobe small, yellow, revolute, fimbriate along the edges, its dise naked.—PraTE CXXIV. A.
