deserving of notice. Leptoceras,244 regarded by Dr. Brown as a section of Caladenia, is composed of plants far less attractive than the genus Caladenia, strictly so called.

Besides these Epiblema grandiflorum, R. Br., a fine Bletia-like plant with purple flowers, is found; together with Lyperanthus nigricans and suaveolens, R. Br., which have no pretensions to beauty, but have a very singular appearance with their dingy sad-coloured flowers, and are very fragrant; the two latter seem in no respect different from those of the East coast.

The remainder of the published genera consists of inconspicuous species of Eriochilus,247 Pterostylis,252 Prasophyl-


(244) Leptoceras oblonga; folio oblongo obtuso, racemo elongato internodiis floribus longipedunculatis longioribus, labelli oblongi apice angustati crispi glandulls 2-seriatis teretibus: infimis fasciculatis.

(245) Leptoceras fimbriata; glaberrima, folio minimo cucullato acuminato, caule stricto tenui 1-3-floro, floribus approximatis, labello pubescente cuneato eglanduloso apice dentibus glandulosis fimbriato.

(246) Leptoceras pectinata; glaberrima, folio ovato acuminato, caule stricto 2-floro, flore inferiore internodio breviore, labello pubescente cuneato eglanduloso apice dentibus glandulosis medio excepto pectinatim marginato.

(247) Eriochilus scaber; folio epigæo coriaceo subrotundo-ovato acutissimo, caule nano unifloro ovario bracteaque oblongâ scabris.

(248) Eriochilus tenuis; folio epigæo membranaceo ovato-oblongo elongate obtuso. caule tenui unifloro bracteaque ovata glabris, ovario tomentoso.

(249) Eriochilus dilatatus; folio medio caulis inserto lineari-lanceolato coriaceo basi dilatato, caule paucifloro ovariisque glabris.

(250) Eriochilus latifolius; folio medio caulis inserto lineari-oblongo, caule multifloro apice pubescente, bracteis oblongis ciliatis rachi ovariisque tomentosis, labello subrotundo, sepalo dorsali columnâ multò longiore, antheræ rimâ tomentosâ.

(251) Eriochilus multiflorus; folio medio caulis inserto ovali acuminato, caule multifloro apice pubescente, bracteis oblongis ciliatis rachi ovariisque tomentosis, labello ovali obtuso, sepalo dorsali columnâ paulò longiore, antheræ rimâ glabriusculâ.———Flowers much smaller than in the last species.

(252) Pterostylis vittata; caule folioso, foliis radicalibus nullis caulinis ovato-lanceolatis, labello bifido fimbriate appendice indivisâ, columnæ alis deorsum acuminatis barbatis.

(253) Pterostylis pyramidalis; caule folioso unifloro, foliis inferioribus ovatis in petiolum angustatis superioribus minoribus sessilibus, labelli laminâ lineari apice paulo latiore, appendice penicillatâ, sepalis lateralibus filiformibus supremi longitudine.

(254) Pterostylis barbata; caule folioso unifloro, foliis ovatis acuminatis imbricatis supremis vaginantibus inflatis, labelli laminâ subulatâ clavatâ barbatâ sub apice nudâ, appendice glabrâ apice denticulatâ, sepalis acuminatissimis.

(255) Pterostylis scabra; caule folioso unifloro scabro, foliis ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis, labelli lamina apice filiformi clavatâ appendice penicillatâ, sepalorum lateralium acumine filiformi ipsis breviore.
