32 pumitio (R. Br. prod. p. 579.) plant creeping, downy ; 
leaves ovate, membranous: upper ones crowded ; peduncles 1- 
flowered, from the axils of the upper leaves. %. G. Native 
of New Holland, within the tropic. Corolla purplish. Perhaps 
the corolla is unilabiate, or probably nearly regular. 
Dwarf Goodenia. Pl. creeping. 
Cult. All the species of this genus are worth cultivating for 
ornament. They grow freely in a mixture of sand, loam, and 
peat; and young cuttings of most of the species strike root 
freely in the same kind of soil, under a hand-glass ; and all may 
be raised from seed, which ripen plentifully. 
II. DISTYLIS (from dic, dis, twice, and orvdoc, stylos, a 
style; in reference to the style being bipartite). Gaud. in Freyc. 
voy. pte bot. p. 45. t. 80. 
Lin. syst. Pentdndria, Monogynia. Calyx adnate to the 
ovarium; limb free, 5-parted. Corolla deciduous, with the tube 
cleft behind, 5-parted, spreading, somewhat bilabiate ; segments 
with winged margins. Stamens 5, distinct. Style bipartite. 
Indusium of stigma membranous, cup-shaped, and ciliated. 
Capsule crowned by the permanent calyx, semi-bilocular in con- 
sequence of the dissepiment being short; valves parallel. Seeds 
imbricate, compressed, orbicular, girded by a membranous bor- 
der.—An annual hairy plant, with almost simple stems. Leaves 
alternate, toothed, Flowers axillary, solitary, on long peduncles, 
racemose, bractless, yellow.

Holland, on the Western Coast, in Sharks’ Bay. Goodénia Ber- 
ardiana, Gaud. 
Berard’s Distylis. Pl. 4 foot. 
Cult. Rear the seeds in a frame in the spring, and about the 
end of May put the plants out into the open border in a warm 
situation. 
HI. CALO’GYNE (from xadoc, kalos, beautiful, and yvvn, 
gune, a female; in reference to the stigma). R. Br. prod. 
p. 579. 
Lin. syst. Pentdndria, Monogynia. Calyx superior; limb 
5-parted, with equal segments. Corolla bilabiate. Anthers dis- 
tinct. Style trifid. Gland epigynous between the 2 lower 
filaments. Capsule subunilocular from the dissepiment being 
short. Seeds imbricate, compressed.—A pilose annual herb, 
with the habit of Goodénia, and when dry having an odour like 
that of vernal grass, Leaves toothed or cut; floral ones auri- 
culated at the base. Peduncles axillary, 1-flowered, bractless, 
reflexed while bearing the fruit.—This genus is separated from 
Goodenia alone from the trifid style; each division being fur- 
nished with an indusiate stigma. 
1 G. prndsa (R. Br. l.c.). ©.G. Native of New Holland, 
within the tropic. 
Pl. 4 foot. 
Pilose Calogyne. 
Cult. Sow the seeds of this plant in spring, in a pot filled 
with a mixture of sand, loam, and peat, and place it in a hot-bed; 
and when the plants are of sufficient size, plant them separately 
into other pots.

sprout). R. Br, prod. p. 579.

III. Carocyne. IV. Evruates. V. VELLEIA. 
Lin. syst. Pentandria, Monogy'nia. Calyx inferior, tubular, 
5-cleft, unequal. Corolla adhering to the tube beneath the 
ovarium, cleft on one side at the apex; limb bilabiate. Anthers 
distinct. Style undivided. Indusium of stigma bilabiate. Cap- 
sule 4-valved, 2-celled at the base. Seeds imbricated, com- 
pressed.—A stemless herb, with the habit and inflorescence of 
Velléia. The corolla in this genus and Velléta is semi-superior, 
and joined with the calyx at the base. The genus is interme- 
diate between Goodénia and Velléia, but differs from them in the 
calyx being tubular. ;

Cult. A mixture of loam, peat, and sand is the best soil for 
this plant; and it must be but sparingly watered, as it is very 
delicate, and apt to damp off. It is increased, but sparingly, by 
dividing, and by seed.
