4. ©. bifolia Hook. f. Fl. Nov. Zel. 1 (1853) 247.—Stout or slender, glandu- 
lar-pubescent, 3-9 in. high. Leaves two together towards the base of the 
stem, spreading, 1-24 in. long, variable in shape, one usually much broader 
than the other, ovate or oblong to ovate-lanceolate or lanceolate, acute, 
sparingly glandular-pubescent, margins ciliate. Scape 1-flowered, with a 
sheathing bract a little distance below the flower. Flower white with a 
tinge of pink, nearly 1 in. diam. when fully expanded. Upper sepal narrow- 
oblong, obtuse, erect, concave; lateral spreading, linear-lanceolate. Petals 
shorter and narrower. Lip sessile by a narrow base, spreading, orbicular- 
obovate, rounded at the tip, undivided, margin entire; disc with two 
almost continuous lines of yellow calli extending from the middle to the 
base. Column elongate, incurved, 2-winged, wings not produced behind 
the anther.—Handb. N.Z. Fl. (1864) 267; Cheesem. Man. N.Z. Fl. (1906)

IstANnpDs: Not uncommon in upland districts from Lake Taupo and Mount Egmont 
southwards. Ascends to 4500 ft., descends to sea-level in the extreme south and

in the outlying islands. December—January. eu 
A curious plant, the genus of which is doubtful. It was referred to Chiloglottis 
by Mueller, and certainly is allied to it in habit, but it wants the essential character 
of the wings of the column produced into 2 lobes behind the anther. On the whole 
I think it is best retained in Caladenia.

Terrestrial herbs, with small underground tubers. Leaves 2, radical 
or nearly so, oblong or linear-oblong. Scape 1- flowered, with a 
solitary bract below the flower. Upper sepal erect, incurved, concave, 
narrowed at the base; lateral narrow-linear or terete, spreading or 
reflexed. Petals lanceolate, falcate. Lip attached to the base of the 
column by a short or long claw, ovate or obovate, undivided; disc with 
variously arranged calli. Column elongated, incurved, winged; wings 
produced at the top into 2 erect lobes often equalling the anther. Stigma 
placed just’ under the rostellum. Anther terminal, erect, 2- celled ; 
pollinia 4, granular. 
A small genus of 7 species, 6 of which are natives of Australia, one of them 
extending to New Zealand, the remaining one confined to New Zealand. The genus 
differs from Caladenia principally in the 2-leaved stem and in the wing of the column 
extending behind the anther. Caladenia bifolia has the habit of Chiloglottis, but the 
column-wing is that of Caladenia, in which genus I have retained it.

1. €. cornuta Hook. f. Fl. Antarct. i (1844) 69.—Usually rather stout, 
perfectly glabrous, 2—5in. high. Leaves 2, close together, petiolate, 
spreading, 1-3in. long, $-lin. broad, oblong or linear-oblong or oblong- 
lanceolate, acute or subacute, flat, rather fleshy when fresh; veins 
parallel, connected by transverse veinlets. Scape very short at first, but 
lengthening as the flower withers and sometimes 4-8in. long in frult, 
1-flowered or very rarely 2-flowered; bract sheathing. Flower about
