inconsiderable. The prettiest of the latter is a Velleya,^^^ 

 allied to V. spathulata, R. Br., but whose calyx has five 

 sepals. Euthales trinervis, R. Br., is also found here, and 

 several Goodenias, all however mere weeds, with the excep- 

 tion of Goodenia rigida, Benth., and a plant allied to G. in- 

 ca7ia, R. Br., if not the same, both which are pretty blue- 

 flowered plants resembling Lobelias. Mr. Frazer found an 

 aquatic stoloniferous species, covering the sandy bottom of 

 the shoal water of Pelican Point, but I do not know which it 

 was. Of Sccevola there are many ; of that genus S. anchuscB- 

 folia, calliptera, and pilosa, Benth., are showy herbaceous 

 plants ; >S'. multijiora^^^ is also of some beauty, in consequence 

 of its numerous pale blue flowers arranged in close leafy 

 spikes ; S. platyphylla^^^ is a broad-leaved hairy species, with 

 white flowers of considerable size ; but S. squarrosa,^^^ fasci- 

 culata, Benth., and all the others I am acquainted with, are 

 not at all suited to the objects of cultivators. It is among 

 the Leschenaultias and Dampieras that the fine plants of this 

 order are to be sought in this part of the world. Of the former 

 genus five if not six species have already been discovered, all 

 of which are most beautiful plants ; L. fioribunda, Benth. 

 has dense clusters of blue and red flowers at the end of long 

 branches, and is the least deserving cultivation ; L. grandi- 

 jiora^^'^ is like it in habit, but has a deep blue corolla, two or 



(108) Velleya lanceolata; caule procumbente, foliis lanceolatis basi angustatis 

 subclentlculatis pilosiusculis axillis villosis : superioribus linearibus pedun- 



culis breviorlbus, calyce 5-phyllo piloso, corolla basi gibbosa. Flowers 



bright yellow. This plant agrees with neither of Brown's sections exactly ; 

 but naturally belongs to the second of them. 



(109) Sc^voLA (Gymnostegia) muUiJlora ; glaberrima, caule paniculato, foliis 

 ovalibus argute serratis utrlnque acutis, spicis elongatis multitloris, bracteis 

 lineari-lanceolatis integerrimis, stylo villoso, fructu costato leevi.

 rulatis semiamplexicaulibus internodiis multo longioribus, floribus axillari- 

 bus solitariis foliis paulo longioribus, corollae unilabiatae tubo intus lanato, 

 indusio hirsutissimo, stylo glabro. 



(11') Scaevola (Gymnostegia) squarrosa; caule erecto paniculato angulato gla- 

 berrimo, foliis linearibus denticulatis corlaceis supremis bracteisque squar- 

 rosis acuminatis, spicis capitatis mox elongatis, drupis inferioribus distantibus 

 compressis Isevibus, stylo pilosiusculo. Flowers very small, pale blue. 



("!-) Leschenaultia grandijlora ; foliis linearibus distantibus acutis, floribus 

 axillaribus in corymbo dense aggregatis, pedicellis ebracteolatis, sepalis tubo
