SARCOCHILUS MINUTIFLOS, BaILey.—A plant of the curious little 
Queensland Sarcochilus minutiflos, received from the late Mr. F. Manson 
Bailey, Colonial Botanist, Queensland, is now flowering at Kew. The 
species was discovered at Ejidsvold, Queensland in December, 1913, and 
was shortly afterwards described and figured (Bailey, Comp. Cat. Queensl. 
Pl., pp. 446, 447, fig. 974). It is nearly allied to S. Hillu, F. Muell., and 
grows in dense tufts of three to four inches high. The leaves are very 
narrow, and the slender spikes bear numerous small blush-white flowers, 
with a deep orange crest to the lip, and some purple stripes on the side 
lobes, while the front lobe is reduced to a globular mass of small white 
hairs. It is a very interesting little plant. Two other Australian species 
of Sarcochilus that have also recently flowered at Kew are S. Hartmannii 
and S. Fitzgeraldii—R.A.R.
