Cult, All the species of this genus are rare, elegant, and 
singular. The best soil for them is a mixture of sand, loam, 
and peat. Some of the species may be increased by parting at 
the root ; but most of them by seed. Cuttings of the shrubby 
kinds strike root readily under a hand-glass either in sand or 
mould.

Leeuwenhoek, a celebrated micrographist, whose numerous 
works and observations on the structure of plants are still ex- 
tant). R. Br. prod. p. 572. i 
Lin. syst. Gynándria, Diándria. Calyx 5-parted, bilabiate. 
Limb of corolla 5-parted, irregular: the fifth segment or lip 
dissimilar to the others, arched, and longer than the column, 
articulated with the tube, moveable. Column erect, adnate to the 
side of the tube where the labellum is. Lobes of anthers one 
above the other, divaricate. Stigmas 2, capillary. Capsule 1- 
celled.—A small glabrous plant, with the habit of Radiola mille- 
grana. Leaves alternate, petiolate, crowded at the tops of the 
branches, intermixed with fascicles of flowers. The irritability 
of the joint of the lip is analogous to that of the column in 
Stylidium, and answers the same end, the protection of the 
sexual organs at the time of flowering. In Levenhodkia the 
labellum is deflexed when the flower is expanded, but from 
its irritability when touched it rises up, and is applied with great 
force to the erect immoveable column, which it covers by its 
spoon-shaped lamina.

Orver CXXXVI. GOODENO'VIZ (this order contains 
plants agreeing with Goodénia in important characters). R. Br. 
prod. p. 573.—Genera of Campanulacee, Juss. 
Calyx superior (f. 124. a.) or semi-superior (f. 126. a.), rarely 
inferior, 5-cleft (f. 124. a. f. 125. a.), sometimes 5-3-parted, 
sometimes short, entire, and sometimes obsolete, usually equal, 
rarely unequal, permanent. Corolla monopetalous (f. 124. b. 
f. 125. h.), more or less irregular, deciduous or marcescent ; 
tube cleft on the back (f. 125. h.), sometimes 5-parted, and 
only adhering with the ovarium at the base, while that of the 
calyx is free; limb 5-parted (f. 124. b. f. 125. h.), bilabiate 
(f. 124. b.), or unilabiate (f. 126. b.); disks of the segments 
lanceolate, flat : having the sides thinner in texture and elevated, 
induplicate in zstivation, rarely obsolete or wanting. Stamens 
5, free ; from the corolla and style (f. 125. c.), alternating with 
the segments of the corolla; filaments distinct (f. 120. C1) 3 
anthers distinct or cohering, linear, vertical, fixed by the base, 
undivided, 2-celled; cells dehiscing lengthwise; pollen usu- 
ally simple, but sometimes compound. Ovarium 1-2-celled, 
rarely 4-celled, sometimes furnished with a gland between 
the 2 anterior filaments ; ovula definite or indefinite. Style 1, 
simple, rarely divided ; stigma fleshy, obtuse, or 2-lobed, girded 
by a rather membranous, entire or 2-lobed, cup-shaped indu- 
sium. Capsule 2-celled or half 2-celled, (rarely 4-celled) ; dis- 
sepiment usually parallel, rarely contrary to the valves, which 
are entire or bipartite; having the axis seminiferous when the 
seeds are indefinite: but when the seeds are definite, there 1$ one 
in each cell. Seeds sometimes nucumentaceous, but usually 
with a thickish testa. Albumen fleshy, conforming to the seeds, 
rarely deficient. Embryo erect, almost the length of the albu- 
men, with middle-sized usually foliaceous cotyledons, and an 
inconspicuous plumule.—Non-lactescent herbs or shrubs, usu- 
ally clothed with simple and sometimes with glandular down, 
rarely with stellate down. Leaves scattered, exstipulate, 1 
ple, usually undivided, sometimes lobed, and often toothed. 
Inflorescence terminal or axillary, variable. Flowers cane 
rarely aggregate, yellow, blue, and purplish, rarely reddish. — 
Nearly related to Campanulacee and Lobeliacee, from Which 
it differs in the æstivation of the flower, and in the peculiar in-
