short bracts. Calyx-tube liuear-turbinate, 2 to 3 lines long; lobes lanceolate 

 or linear, usually shorter thiiix the tube. Upper lobes of the corolla exceed- 

 ing the ealyx-lobes, broad anti concave at the base, slightly contracted under 

 the auricle, lower lip about 3 lines long, the lobes oblong, with nnrrow wings, 

 and somewhat concave at the end. Capsule 3 to 4 lines long, but not seea 

 quite ripe. Seeds very small, the testa very minutely glandular-tuberculate 

 or nearly smooth.— DC. Prod. vii. 520 ; De Vr. Gooden. 188. t. 37 ; Ltsche^

2. A. rubriflorum, F. Muell. Herb. Eadical leaves oblong-spatludate, 

 lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, 1^ to 2 in. long, the petiole dilated and mem- 

 branous at the base. Stems erect and simple or nearly so iu the specimens 

 seen, 3 to 6 in. high, leafless or with 1 or 2 erect, short, linear leaves, 

 i lowers red (^, Muell.'), in a compact, terminal corymb, sessile, and sur- 

 rounded by bracts as in A. himile, but the calyx-tube is rather shorter and 

 broader, rounded at the base and prominently ribbed, the upper connivent 

 lobes of the corolla are not contracted under the auricle, but broader and 

 rounded at the top, not exceeding the calyx-lobes, and the lower lip is nearly 



twice as long. Ovules of A, humile or even more numerous. Fruit not 

 seen,

3. VELLEIA, Sm. 



(Euthales, E. Br) 



Calyx free from tbe ovary, consisting of 3 or 5 sepals, either distinct or 

 connate in a campanulate tube at the base. Corolla oblique, the tube adnata 

 to the ovary at the base, with a hollow protuberance sometimes produced 

 into a spur, the upper part split on the upper side nearly or quite to the 

 ovary, the 2 upper lobes separate lower down, unequally winged and auricu- 

 late, or rarely all equal and equally winged. Stamens free. Ovaiy adnate 

 to the corolla at the base, the summit free witliin the corolla-tube, nearly 

 1-celled, divided only at the very base or rarely to the middle into 2 imper- 

 fect cells. Style simple; indusium usually large, closed and almost folded 

 ^'hen the flower expands. Capsule quite free from the calyx-lobes, equally 

 ^-valved, or rarely 2-valved with entire or 2 -cleft valves. Seeds of Goodenla, 

 ^i^t? with a callous or winged margin, — Herbs, with a short, thick stock and 

 ^dical leaves, or in one species forming a thick, branching, leafy stem. 

 Scapes (or peduncles in K macropJiyUa) erect or ascending, dichotomously- 

 or tnchotomously-brauched, manv-flowered. Bracts opposite^ free or con- 

 wate. Flowers yellow, like those of Goodenia. 



J he species are all Australian. The genus is very nearly allied to Goodenia, hut differs 

 conatautly iu the free calyx and peculiar dichotomous inflorescence.
