GOODENTIA (named in honour of Dr. Samuel Good- 
enough 1743-1827, Bishop of Carlisle, author of a monograph 
of the genus Carex, published in the “ Linnean Transac- 
tions”). ORD. Goodenoview. A genus containing about 
seventy species of" greenhouse herbs or sub-shrubs, rarely 
shrubs, limited to Australia. Flowers yellow, purplish, or 
blue; peduncles either axillary or in terminal racemes or 
panicles. Leaves alternate or radical. Goodenias thrive in a 
compost of peat and loam. Propagated by cuttings, which 
root freely under a bell glass, during spring. The species 
- described below are those usually seen in cultivation. 
G. diflora (large-flowered). fl. yellow, more or less streaked 
with purple, large ; corolla glabrous or slightly pubescent outside ; 
peduneles axillary, one-flowered. July. J. petiolate, from broadly 
ovate to ovate-lanceolate, truncate or cordate at the base, toothed.

G. levigata (smooth). A synonym of Scavola microcarpa. 
G. ovata (ovate). /l., corolla yellow, glabrous outside ; peduncles 
axillary, often two together or forked near the base, slender and 
often several-flowered. July. l. petiolate, from ovate to broadly 
lanceolate, or the lower ones sometimes almost orbicular-cordate, 
denticulate, lin. to 2in. tong. h. 2ft. to 4ft. An erect, glabrous, 
often somewhat viscid shrub or under-shrub, (A. B. R. 68.) 
G. stelligera (star-haired). jl. yellow, sessile or nearly so, in 
clusters of two or three, the u ones solitary, in a long, inter- 
rupted spike ; corolla densely villous outside. June. Z, radical 
ones linear, or slightly linear-acute, obtuse, rather thick, entire ; 
stem ones very few, and much shorter; floral ones reduced to 
linear bracts. Stems erect, almost leafless. h. lft. to 1sft. 1823.

G. tenella (tender). A- synonym of Velleia trinervis. 
GOODENOVIEZ. A natural order of herbs, sub- 
shrubs, or rarely shrubs, the juice not milky. Flowers 
hermaphrodite, axillary or in terminal spikes, racemes, 
or panicles, the primary inflorescence centripetal, the 
secondary usually cymose and dichotomous; corolla 
yellow, blue, or white, rarely red or purple. Leaves 
alternate or radical, very rarely irregularly opposite, 
entire, toothed, or rarely pinnatifid. The order is almost 
exclusively Australian, a few species only of one genus 
(Scævola) being known from New Zealand, the Pacific 
Islands, and the coasts of tropical and sub-tropical — 
Africa, Asia, and America; and one of another genus 
(Calogyne), perhaps not different from an Australian 
one, extending to the coast of China. There are about 
twelve genera and two hundred species. Good examples

GOODIA (named in honour of Peter Good, a bota- 
nical collector, who was employed in collecting seeds 
in Australia, where he died). Orp. Leguminose. A 
genus containing two species of ornamental greenhouse 
evergreen shrubs, natives of Australia. Flowers golden- 
yellow, like those of Laburnum, but smaller; calyx two- 
lipped, the lips not deeply divided; stamens all united 
in a sheath. Leaves pinnate, trifoliolate; leaflets en- 
tire. Goodias thrive in a compost of sandy peat and 
fibry loam. Propagated by seeds, which usually ripen 
in: abundance; or by cuttings, made of the young 
shoots, during spring, and inserted in sand, under a bell me 
glass. 
G. lotifolia (Lotus-leaved).* A. yellow, but with the base of the 
vexillum red. April to July. Z., leaflets obovate, smooth. A. 2ft.

Orchidew, A genus of about twenty-five species of hardy, 
greenhouse, or stove terrestrial orchids, with flower-spikes 
issuing from the centre of the foliage, and thick, fle 
roots. Some species have their dark, velvet-like 
marked like that of some Ancctochili. The- n 
and stove sorts thrive best in small pots or shallow 
in a compost of well-drained peat and sand, with a litt 
loam; and require a liberal supply of water when in a 
growing state. Propagated by cuttings, taken with a 
piece of root to each, inserted in similar soil to that 
already mentioned, and placed under a bell glass. The 
hardy species should be grown in a shady position, and 
in moist, peaty soil, with which soft sandstone may be 
incorporated. The best species is undoubtedly G. dis- 
color. ere
