lower lip larger, the middle lobe convex, fully 2 lines across, the lateral lobes 
linear, divaricate ; spur ascending, as the lower lip. Capsule membranous, the 
fruiting pedicel not refiexed. — A. DC. Prod. viii. 16. 
Hab.: Cape Grafton, Banks and Solander ; Brisbane Biver, W. Hill. 
The Banbsian specimens are minute, and the colour of the flower is not given ; their identity 
with Hill’s yellow-flowered specimens (determine! by F. v Mueller) is therefore in some 
measure uncertain. — Bcnth. 
7. U. chrysantha (golden-flowers), R. B>\ Prod. 432; Bcnth. FI. Austr. 
iv. 527. Scapes slender but tall, often exceeding 1ft. Leaves usually none 
at the time of flowering. Flowers yellow, usually numerous but distant, rarely 
forming a more compact spike. Pedicels exceedingly short, erect in fruit and 
then not exceeding 1 line. Bracts very small, usually acute, not produced at the 
base. Calyx-segments ovate-lanceolate, about 1 line long. Corolla: upper lip 
much longer than the calyx, ovate-orbicular, entire ; lower lip rather longer, 
broad, very convex, the margins reflexed and 4-lobed (3-lobed with the middle 
lobe 2-fid) ; spur descending, straight or slightly curved, as long as the upper 
lip, the whole corolla usually about Jin. long. Capsule globular, almost 
crustaceous, about 1 line diameter. Seeds minute. — A. DC. Prod. viii. 18. 
Hab.: Point Lookout, Banks and Solander; Rockingham Bay, Dallacliy ; Gilbert and 
Norman Rivers, T. Gulliver. 
U.Jlava, R. Br. Prod. 432 ; A. DC. Prod. viii. 18, from Endeavour River, Banks and Solander, 
appears to me to be a slender variety of U. chrysantha, with the middle lobe of the lower lip 
nearly entire. — Bentli. 
8. U. bifida (2-cleft), Lam.; Olio. in Journ. Linn. Soc. iii. 182 ; Bcnth. FI. 
Austr. iv. 527. Scapes slender, usually about 6in. high. Radical leaves small, 
linear or spathulate, very rare at the time of flowering. Flowers yellow, usually 
from 6 to 8 on the scape, rather distant. Pedicels 1 to 2 lines long, reflexed 
when in fruit and winged by the decurrent calyx-segments. Bracts acute, not 
produced at the base. Calyx-segments orbicular, obtuse, scarcely above 1 line 
long in flower, twice as large and decurrent when in fruit. Corolla : upper lip 
obovate, longer than the calyx, the lower lip broad, convex, longer than the upper 
one ; spur conical, descending as long as the upper lip. Capsule membranous. 
Seeds small, ovoid, reticulate. — U. diantha, A. DC. Prod. viii. 21, not of Roem. 
and Schult. 
Hab.: Rockingham Bay, Dallacliy. 
Extends over tropical Asia. 
9. U. cyanea (blue), R. Br. Prod. 431 ; Bcnth. FI. Austr. iv. 527. Scapes 
slender, rarely exceeding Gin. Leaves radical, linear or slightly spathulate, J to 
Jin. long, or sometimes very narrow and more than twice that length, but usually 
disappearing before the flowering. Flowers blue, sometimes very pale or white, 
several on the scape but distant. Pedicels shorter than or scarcely exceeding the 
calyx, ascending or erect in fruit and not at all or scarcely winged. Bracts 
acute or acuminate, not produced at the base. Calyx-segments about 2 lines 
long when in flower and scarcely enlarged when in fruit, acute or scarcely obtuse. 
Corolla: upper lip shorter than the calyx or scarcely exceeding it, obovate ; lower- 
lip rather longer, broader and very convex ; spur descending, conical, rather 
obtuse, as long as the lower lip. Capsule membranous. Seeds nearly globular, 
appearing tuberculate or almost muricate when dry, reticulate only when soaked. 
— A. DC. Prod. viii. 15 ; U. graminifolia, R. Br. Prod. 432, but scarcely of Yahl. 
Hab.: Endeavour River, Banks and Solander ; Brisbane River, F. v. Mueller (with leaves lin. 
long). 
Var. alba. Corolla white, the calyx not quite so large in proportion at the time of flowering. 
— Rockingham Bay, Dallacliy ; Islands of Moreton Bay.
