[kale-o-kye-luss]
From kalos, beautiful, and cheilos, a lip; referring to the fringed labellum.
An Australian genus of glabrous plants with one long narrow leaf, and, usually, two or three erect leaf-like, sheathing bracts on the stem. Flowers few, in a terminal raceme, with a large lip dlensely fringed. The column resembles that of Thelymitra, and the genus, apparently, is self-fertilised.

C. Robertsonii, Bentham; honouring J. G. Robertson, a Victorian botanist.
A stout species up to 1.5 ft. in height, leaf rather long. Flowers three to five, sepals and petals acuminate, petals longer than sepals. Lip deep prune-coloured, fringed all over. Column-wings with a more or less distinct gland on each side in front, connected at base.
Though listed as West Australian by F. von Mueller and included in an official census of West Australian plants, this orchid is either extremely rare in Western Australia, or has been missed by present-day collectors.
New South Wales, South Australia.
