| ee THE GENUS. DIURIS. ae 
HE Australian genus Diuris is not often seen in gardens, but a good 
specimen of D. maculata was sent to Kew from the Royal Botanic 
Garden, Glasnevin, in March, 1888, and two of the species have been 
figured in the Botanical Magazine. There are records of Tur Species in 
cultivation, the earliest as long ago as 1813, when D. aurea is said to have 
been grown at Kew, the plant having been introduced from New South 
Wales, in 1810, by Mr. George Caley (4 it. Hort. Kew, ed. 2, v. p. 200). In 
1832, what was called D. maculata was figured (Bot. M ag. t. 3156), from a 
plant which bloomed at Kew in March, 1825, the bulb having been sent by 
Allan Cunningham two years previously. Lindley remarked that this plant 
was certainly not D. maculata, though he doubtfully referred it to his 
D. curvifolia (Gen. & Sp..Orch., p- 507); but we identify it with the well- 
known D. sulphurea, R. Br. In 1875, D. alba, R. Br., was figured — 
Mag., t. 6201), from a plant which flowered in the open border at Kew, t . 
tuber having been received from Dr. Chas. Moore, Director of the Sydney
