In habit, this fpecies exa&tly correfponds with Dr. Smrrn’s — 
Vevreia, to which genus Lagrrrarpiere has. referred it. 
But the calyx of Dr. Smirn’s Vetveta confilts of three large 
Jeaflets, whereas in this the calyx differs from that of the other 
Goodenias in nothing but in not being adnate to the germen, 
- acircumfance, which fometimes takes place in other inftances, 
in the natural order of Campanulacee, Except in this. point, 
and in the feptum of the capfule being fhorter, every part of 
the flower and fruit approaches fo near GoopENta grandiflora, 
in which alfo the capfule fplits into four parts at the point, 
that we can find no line of generic diftin@ion. We have 
therefore thought it beft to arrange it with the Goodenias, till 
we have the fatisfalion of feeing Mr, Brown’s Flora of New- 
Holland, in which work all thefe difficulties will doubtlefs be 
cleared up and the genera definitively fettled, which could 
hardly be done by any Botanift that has not had the opportunity 
of ftudying the plants of that country in their native foil. It 
is to this excellent Botanift that we owe the introdu€tion of 
the prefent plant, being firft railed in Kew Garden, from feeds 
gathered by him in New-Holland in 1802. Communicated 
to us by Meffrs. Naprer and Cuanpver, Nurferymen, at 
~ Vauxhall, in May 1806. _ 
Propagated by feeds, which unfortunately it does not appear 
to produce freely in this climate. We fufpeé it to be an 
annual, and as fuch, we were led to confider the GoopENIA 
grandifiora, ftom its flowering and ripening its feeds in the 
fame year that it was fown; but longer experience has con- 
'vinced us that itisneverthelefs perennial, :
