 A. Syme Johnson, September, 1919; Mount Barker district,

The low stature, large soft deep blue flowers, short and 

 very wide basal leaf, and the broadly ovate labellum, its 

 lamina studded with gem-like calli, easily reveal the identity 

 of this orchid. It grows in vast quantities in the neighbour- 

 hood of Mount Barker. 



C. ixioides, Lindl. 



Western Australia: near Perth, Mrs. W. E. Cooke, 

 September, 1907; Swan River, James Drummond. 



Except for the linear calli and slight serration of the 

 apical margins there appears to be no definite structural 

 differences between this and the preceding species. Its yellow 

 colour is similar to the colour variation already referred to 

 in the case of C. deformis. It appears to be very local. 

 Fitzgerald collected it at Henley Park, near Perth, in August.

G. emarginata, Lindl. 



Western Australia: Cut Hill, near York, L. O. Sargent, 

 24/9/06; Muresk, Mrs. W. E. Cooke, 4/9/07; Darling 

 Ranges, Dr. J. B. Cleland; Waroona, G. F. Berthoud,

 Albany, Dr. A. Syme Johnson, 4/12/19; Darling Ranges, 

 Rogers, 28/9/19; Pinjarra, Rogers, 1/10/19. 



Flowers one or two, of varying shades of pink, marked 

 with lilac or pink dots, glossy on upper-surface (but not so 

 markedly so as in G. Brunonis) ; the under-surface covered 

 with small purplish Kairs. Column dotted with pink or lilac, 

 its hood tomentose; anther violet. 



The flowers are larger than those of G. Brunonis, and 

 not nearly so artificial looking.
