 Near the Fortesque-Kiver ; W. H. Cusack, Esq. 



Leaves about 30, crowded, to 1^/2 inches long, to only ^/s-inch broad. 

 Stems and racemes together some few inches long. Calyx remaining 

 almost uuenlarged, thus hardly exceeding ^/s-inch in length. Corolla 

 about half an inch long, is three lower lobes shorter than the connate 

 portion, all lobes expanding on both sides equally into yellow membranes ; 

 the undivided lower portion of the corolla vitellinous and nearly glabrous 

 inside. Fruit soniewhät surpassing the calyx. Seeds comparatively large, 

 but not obtained in a matured State. 



This plant belongs to a group of species, restricted to Western 

 Äustralia, and offers with some of them an transit to Goodenia, with some 

 species of which the conform in aspect. In the System it should be 

 associated with V. cyonopotamica , V. Salmoniana, V. Forrestii and 

 F. macroplectra, but is amply distinct, and could be placed under 

 Goodenia.
