It may interest you, dear Dr Hooker, that a second species of your genus Adenochilus has been discovered by Mr J Norton, on a cataract in the Blue Mountains of N.S. Wales, very near to A. gracilis. It is beautifully figured by Mr Fitzgerald for the second part of his "Austr. Orchid2
Have you a spare specimen of the N.Z. species, so that I can institute an exact comparison.
Regardfully
Ferd. von Mueller.
Adenochilus gracilis
