same. It seems to me, however, that the whole plant is longer and 
narrower, and not so transparent as those of P. cucullata. However, 
I am not disposed or qualified to argue with this profound scientist, 
although the name furcata is adopted by the late Mr. Bentham. 
This sp. grows on damp grassland amongst the ranges, and is said 
to remain in flower for several months, the specimens exhibited 
being collected I think in January.; To grow it well, use loam, and 
plenty of water. Height from 3 to 8 inches. Found also in 
Tasmania. 
P. REFLEXa, (Robt. Brown.) 
A yery handsome sp. growing from 3 to 6 or 8 inches high, with 
slender stem and narrow leaves, the stem being slightly pubescent. 
The flower is, (on the specimens which I have “seen), solitary, green 
with white strie, and nearly transparent, with-a yery pointed 
labellum. This sp. is variable, and as is often the case with many 
other sp. of this fine genus, is sometimes difficult to determine. It 
erows erect, without any radical leaves, although it may assume 
these after flowering, as does P. aphylla. Ihave only found this 
on very few occasions, although it is well known from many parts 
of Victoria, and during the last few months near Hawthorn, by Mr. 
G. Coghill, a member of our Club, For cultivation, it is one of 
the best of the genus, being easily grown, flowers early, and dries 
better than many of the other sp. To grow it well, use shallow 
pots or pans, with leaf mould. Flowers in April and May. P. 
revoluta, P. scabrida, and P. pyramidalis, (of Endlicher) are 
ideptical with this spy. Found also in New South Wales, South 
Australia, and in Western Australia.
