C. SotJ-ivAN'i, (F. V. Mueller.) 



Stem very slender, comparatively short, its lowest portion enclosed 

 in a nieiiibranous, navrnw, sliu'litly downy cjlinler; leaf narrow- 

 linear, inserted some di-^tanc? from ba-^e of stem, no bract between 

 the leaf and tlie floral liracts; flowers two' to three, ver)'- small; 

 Iab3llrun lanceolar-ovate, ])assint>' from a gradaally attenuated base 

 into curved sti[)os of hardly half the length, pointed at the sunmiit, 

 very bulging above; membrane of the column terminated on each 

 side by a small deltoid lobe, fruit oblique, egg-sliaped. 



This pretty little orchid was first brought to light by my old 

 friend, Mr. U. Sullivan, F.L.S., of Moyston, and was found near 

 ]\lt. Zero, one of the Grampian chain of mountains. I can scarcely 

 venture on any recommendations as to its culture, it being ahaost 

 nnique at present, and I am indebted to my respected chief, Baron 

 von Mueller, for the loan of tli(> specimen liere exhibited. I have 

 taken the (abbreviated) descrijitiou from the "Victorian Chemist 

 and Druggist,"' in which publication the more detailed and 

 scientiiic description can be I'cnnd. Flowers, I believe, later in the 

 season than C. mctjor. Height, 4 to 6 inches. I may mention that; 

 this genus was founded in hunor of a J\Ir. Oale\'-, and thus the Barou 

 has adopted the genei-ic name of Caleya, instead of Caleana, a 

 change which I thiidc most of us will appreci:ite. I had hoped tt 

 be able to announce the existence of C. minor in Victoria, a small 

 form of C. mrfjor hn\lug been found by our member, Mi^s Campbell, 

 and at first the Baron sup[ioscd it to be a form of C. inino}\ 

 but has since placed it as a small form of the common sp.

A very singular, and in Victoria, a rare sp., wliich, I believe, I 

 had the iionor of being the first to find in Victoria, whilst on a 

 botanical trip to Gembrook. This little plant may be at once
