GOODENIACE^.

nected with this vdew, it becomes of importance to ascertain whether the stamhia of 

 StyUdiacete are opposite to the segments of calyx or of corolla. The latter disposition 

 would be in favour of the hypothesis. This, however, is a point which will not be very 

 easily determmed, the stan)ma being lateral. In the mean time, the existence and 

 division of the corona faucis in StyUdium render it not altogether improbable that they 

 are opposite to the segments of the corolla." 



In the aestivation of the corolla the Goodeniads are also remarkable, the edges of its 

 segments being doubled inwards, so as to assume the appearance of wings belonging to 

 a triangular back. Cyphia, referred hither by Endhcher, wants that character, 'and 

 seems to be merely an irregulai' Bellwort with the collecting haii-s of the style arranged 

 in a ring beneath the stigma. 



These plants belong to Australia and the islands of the Southern Ocean, or only 

 advance into India in the form of a Scsevola, which even spreads into Africa, and it 

 is said, the West Indies, and of Selliera, which mhabits the southern part of South 

 America. 



The leaves of Scaevola Taccada when young are eaten as potherbs, and some super- 

 stitiovis qualities are ascribed to its berries ; the pith, which is soft and spongy, is 

 fashioned by the Malays mto artificial flowers and other nicknacks. Scaevola Bela Mo- 

 dogam appears to be emoUient, and is used in India to bring tumours to a head. — Linn.
