ll. Caladenia congesta (Br. Prodr. 324) ; pilosula, folio lineari, scapo 1-3-floro, floribus roseis, 
sepalis petalisque subzquilongis acuminatis, sepalo dorsali fornicato columnam velante, labelli trilobi non

bus longioribus quam latis subacutis, intermedio atro-purpureo recurvo margine integerrimo.—Lindl. Gen.

Disrrıs. New South Wales and South-western Australia. 
Similar at first sight to C. carnea, as indeed are all the following species, but very distinct. It may be known 
by the arched dorsal sepal, which more or less conceals the column, by the absence of red bands on the column and 
labellum, by the long lateral lobes of the labellum, by its deep black-purple middle lobe, with entire margins, and 
especially by the glands of the labellum, which are black-purple, crowded in four series, of which the basal ones 
are longest, and by their glands being continued on to the surface of the middle lobe.—Prarz CXXIV. B. Fig. 1, 
column and labellum ; 2 and 3, labellum ; 4, column :—all magnified. 
12. Caladenia alata (Br. Prodr. 324); pubescens, folio lineari, scapo elongato 3-5-floro, perian- 
thii foliolis acuminatis, sepalo dorsali fornicato columnam velante roseo-vittato, labelli trilobi vittati disco 
glandulis 2- v. sub-4-seriatis, lobis lateralibus rotundatis integerrimis intermedio flavo plus minusve fim- 
briato.—Lindl. l.c. 418; Smith, Er. Bot. 104, (Gunn, 755.) (Tas. CXXV. 4.) 
Has. Probably a common species: sandy soil near Hobarton, Gunn ; open forest land, Cheshunt, 
Archer.—(Fl. Nov.) (v. v.) 
DisrarB. New South Wales and Victoria. 
I have referred this plant to Brown's C. alata with some hesitation; the glands on the dise of the labellum 
are often in four rows, though each pair of these are irregularly disposed, and often run together, whilst in some 
specimens there are decidedly only two rows; another important difference is in the middle lobe of the labellum, 
which is möre or less crenate or fimbriate throughout its length, thus differing from Brown's character of “ basi 
utringue unidentato;” but I find the fimbriation of the middle lobe to vary a good deal in all the species. The 
lateral lobes of the labellum vary much in breadth.—This is a much taller plant than any other of this section, 
10-18 inches high, with several (two to five) flowers (rarely one only) of a pale, dirty pink or whitish colour. The 
leaflets of the perianth vary much in size and relative shape, but all are acuminate; the dorsal sepal arches, and is 
about the same size as the petals; the lateral sepals are broader and longer. ZLabellum banded with pink; middle 
lobe yellow. Column also banded with pink.—PrATE CXXV. 4. Fig. 1 and 2, labellum; 3 and 4, column :—all

13. Caladenia angustata (Lindl. Le 420); pubescenti-pilosa, folio filiformi, scapo tenui 1-2- 
floro, floribus roseis, sepalis petalisque subzqualibus acuminatis dorsali fornicato columnam velante, labello 
(columnaque) roseo-vittato, disco glandulis sparsis 4-seriatis, lobis lateralibus angustis integerrimis inter- 
medio flavo fimbriato basi glanduloso,—C. gracilis, Br. ? Prodr. 824. (Gunn, 911.) (Tas. CXXV. B.) 
Has. Probably common : Circular Head, Cheshunt, Hobarton, etc., Paterson, Gunn, Archer.—(Fl. 
Oct.) (v. v.) : 
Disrris. New South Wales and Victoria. 
A small, slender species, very similar indeed to C. carmea, but with an arched dorsal sepal.— Leaves very nar- 
row. Scape 4-8 inches high. Flowers generally solitary, pink. Sepals and petals acuminate. Labellum with 
rather narrow, entire lateral lobes; disc with four rows of small, scattered glands, that are produced on to the yel- 
low-red middle lobe; the latter is more or less crenate or fimbriate: in some of Mr. Archer’s specimens the tooth-
