GOODENOVIE. V. VELLE. 
5 V. pugr'scens (R. Br. prod. p. 581.) downy; bracteas of 
the forks distinct ; leaves toothed; segments of the calyx ob- 
long-ovate, acute. 4Y. G. Native of New Holland, within the 
tropic. Corolla yellow. 
Downy Velleia. Pl. 4 foot. 
6 V. prrrozia‘ra (R. Br. 1. c.) glabrous; bracteas of the 
forks large, connate, roundish, toothed. 2. G. Native of New 
South Wales, about Port Jackson. Corolla yellow.

Cult. The soil recommended for the two preceding genera is 
also suited for the species of Velleia ; and they may be increased 
by seeds, which are sometimes produced in this country.

VI, LECHENAULTIA. 
VIII. ScÆævoLa. 727 
Filiform-leaved Lechenaultia, PI. 
Cult. The species of Lechenailtia are elegant plants while 
in blossom. They thrive best in a mixture of turfy loam, peat, 
and sand ; and young cuttings strike root freely in the same kind 
of mould under a hand or bell-glass. 
VII. Antnotium. 
VII. ANTHO'TIUM (from av@oc, anthos, a flower, and ove 
wroc, ous otos, an ear ; in reference to the segments of the su- 
perior lip of the corolla being auriculated on the inner margin). 
R. Br. prod. p. 582. 
Lin. syst. Pentdndria, Monogynia. Calyx superior, 5-parted. 
Tube of corolla cleft lengthwise on the upper side ; limb bila- 
biate ; segments of the upper lip auriculated on the inner mar- 
gin. Anthers cohering. Grains of pollen simple. Ovarium 
2-celled, many-seeded. Indusium of stigma contrary to the lips 
of the corolla, beardless. Capsule unknown.—A glabrous dwarf 
stemless herb. Leaves radical, nearly terete, dilated a little at 
the base. Scapes numerous, spreading, undivided. Flowers 
crowded in fascicles. Bracteas foliaceous. Corolla violaceous, 
5-parted, with the margins of the claws loose and truly in- 
flexed. 
1 A. uu'mite (R. Br. 1. c.) XY. G. Native of New Holland, 
on the south coast. There are two varieties of this plant, one 
twice the size of the other in all its parts. 
Humble Anthotium. PI. 4 foot. 
Cult. See Velleta, above, for culture and propagation. 
Tribe I1. 
SCHVO'LE (this tribe contains plants agreeing with Sce- 
vola in important characters). R. Br. prod. p. 582. Seeds de~ 
finite. Drupe or nut inferior. 
VIII. SCA VO'LA (from sceva, the left hand; in reference 
to the form of the corolla). Lin. gen. no. 224. Juss. gen. 165.

Jacq. amer. 219. Gaertn. fruct. 1. p. 119. t. 25. 
Lin. syst. Pentandria, Monogynia. Corolla cleft longitudi- 
nally on the upper side; limb 5-parted, all to one side; seg- 
ments winged, about equal in size and shape. Anthers free. 
Indusium of stigma ciliated.—Shrubs and herbs very variable in 
habit. Down on hairs simple. Leaves alternate, rarely oppo- 
site, hardly divided, often toothed. Inflorescence axillary or 
disposed in a leafy spike. Ovaria bibracteate, usually 2-celled 
(rarely 4-celled); cells 1-seeded; sometimes 1-celled and 1-2- 
seeded. Calyx 5-cleft, equal, sometimes obsolete. Corolla 
white or blue, rarely yellow, deciduous, for the most part downy 
outside; wings of the segments often fringed at the base, rarely 
longitudinally ; the fringe for the most part floccosely branched 
at the top, and appears capitate to the naked eye; tube villous 
inside, and the throat beset with ramente, which are disposed 
in continuous lines, with the fringes of the segments, Stamens 
flaccid after the dehiscence of the corolla, and falling off with 
it. Anthers for the most part beardless, but sometimes bearded 
at the apex.—This genus is divided into natural groups below. 
Those species with I-celled ovaria will probably constitute a 
separate genus from those with 2-celled ovaria.—S. spinéscens 
has a very different habit from the other species, and is probably 
a distinct genus, from the bracteas being deciduous, and the 
wings of the segments of the corolla being fringed lengthwise, 
but the mature fruit is not known. 
Secr. I. Sarcoca’rra (from capt capxoc, sarx sarkos, flesh ; 
and xapzoc, karpos, a fruit ; in reference to the baccate fruit of 
the species). Drupe baccate, 2-celled. Peduncles axillary, dicho- 
tomous, bearing flowers in the forks, rarely 1-flowered. Leaves 
alternate, bearded in the axils. Shrubs, natives of the sea shore.
