the smaller, narrow cuneate-oblong, constricted below the middie, truncate 
or nearly so at the tip; lower lip with a broad horizontal almost semi- 
circular lamina about 4 in. diam., margin entire ; palate with three raised 
ridges, each with a. central groove; spur short, broad, obtuse. Capsule 
membranous, globose, 4 in. diam.—Handb. N.Z. Fl. (1864) 222; Cheesem.

Probably not uncommon in peaty swamps throughout the North Island, and in 
the eastern portion of the South Island. 
4. U. delieatula Cheesem. Man. N.Z. Fl. (1906) 561.—Habit of U. novae- 
zealandiae, but much smaller, the scape seldom more than 3in. high. 
Leaves 1 or 2 or wanting, narrow-linear or narrow linear-spathulate, quite 
entire. Scape 1-3in. high, slender, wiry, erect, 1—3-flowered; bracts 
very small. Flowers shortly pedicelled, about 4 in. long, white with a 
faint yellow eye. Calyx-segments almost equal, suborbicular, concave. 
Upper lip of corolla the smaller, linear-oblong, 2-lobed at the tip; 
lower lip with a horizontally spreading lamina which is quite entire, not 
3-lobed; palate very obscurely thickened or quite plane; spur longer 
than in U. novae-zealandiae, minutely 2-horned at the tip. Capsule 
globose, membranous, about $in. diam.—J/]. N.Z. Fl. 1 (1914) t. 159s. 
Norts Istanp: Auckland—Near Kaitaia, 7. F. C.; near Waiuku, H. Carse ! 
swamps near Ohaupo (Waikato), 7. F. C. November—January. 
This differs from U. novae-zedlandiae in the smaller size, in the upper lip of the 
corolla being 2-Jobed, and in the longer spur, which is minutely 2-horned at the tip. 
From U. Colensoi it is at once separated by the entire lower lip. 
5. U. Colensoi Hook. f. Fl. Nov. Zel. i (1853) 206.—‘‘ Altogether like 
U. novae-zealandiae but with the upper lip of the corolla linear-oblong, 
2-lobed; lower broadly cuneate, 3-lobed, middle lobe retuse, dise with 
3 gibbous prominences.”—Handb. N.Z. Fl. (1864) 223; Cheesem. Man.

This does not seem to have been collected since its first discovery more than seventy 
years ago, unless Colenso’s U. vulcanica be the same species. Mr. Colenso describes 
his plant as having a 3-lobed lower lip, but he also states that the upper lip is 
 subovate, obtuse,’ which is at variance with Hooker’s description. Unfortunately, 
tee type specimens of both species have been lost, so that no comparison can now 
be made. 
6. U. monanthos Hook. f. Fl. Tasm. i (1860) 299.—A minute stemless 
herb. Roots or rhizome very slender, bearing several subglobose com- 
pressed bladders stom. diam. Leaves few, all radical, 4-1 in. long, 
narrow lmear-spathulate, petiolate, quite entire. Scape slender, simple, 
erect, #4 in. high, 1- or rarely 2-flowered. Flowers large for the size of the
