T. LONGiFOLiA, Forst. Soitth Australia: Mount Pata- 

 warta (3,060 ft. elevation), 365 miles north of Adelaide; Mr. 

 B. B. Beck. 5/10/20. 



This represents not only the highest elevation, but also 

 the furthest north at which any orchid has been recorded in 

 this State. A few other orchids from the same locality are 

 noted below. 



T. GRANDiFLORA, Fitzg. Victoria: Nar Nar Goon: J. W. 

 Audas. 18/10/20. 



T. URNALis, Fitzg. South Australia: Bugle Ranges; 

 National Park; Dr. and Mrs. Rogers. October, 1921. 



This orchid was described in 1882, but has never until 

 this season (1921) been reported since its discovery. They 

 correspond in every respect to Fitzgerald's description and 

 illustration, except that the tooth in front of the column is 

 not always present. The plants were not numerous and were 

 found growing alongside of T. an-tennifera, Hook., and T. 

 ruhraj Fitzg. The flowers are yellow and bear dark-brown 

 stripes on the outer sides of the sepals identical in appearance 

 to those occurring in T. antennifera. It is quite possible 

 that the plant may be a hybrid between this and the other 

 species mentioned above. 



DiURis AUREA, Sm. JYew South Wales: Barrington 

 Tops (5,100 ft.), near Patterson; Mr. A. N. Burns. 14/12/21. 



D. LONGIFOLIA, Br. With two well-developed parallel 

 raised lines on the lamina of the labellum. Tlie lamina 

 normally bears only one such line. This fact is rather im- 

 portant, because Bentham makes the number of such lines 

 a prominent feature in the classification of the members of 

 this genus. Mr. Max Jacob, who collected these specimens 

 at Cherry Gardens in this State, informs me that they are 

 by no means uncommon this season (1921) in that locality. 



Prasophyllum Suttonii, Rogers and Rees. In addition 

 to Buffalo Plateau (Victoria), where this alpine species was 

 discovered, it has reached me from the following localities : — 



New South Wales: Mount Kosciusko (7,300 ft.); Mr. R. 

 Helms. February. 



Victoria: Baw Baw Mountains (5,060 ft.) ; Mr. C. French, 

 jun., January; Mount Feathertop (5,000 ft.); A. J. Tadgell, 

 December. 



Tasmania: Summit of Ben Lomond (5,000 ft.); A. 

 Simson. March. 



Further acquaintance with this orchid shows that the 

 lateral sepals are not always free, but are subject to varia- 

 tion, as in certain other members of the genus.
