wool in the axils of the leaves and bracts. Radical leaves petiolate, obovate or 

 obloug, toothed or entire. Scapes or stems tall, glaiicoii=i, dichotomous, with 

 lari>:e broad connate entire or toothed bracts at the forks. Fiovvers shortly 

 pedicellate in the forks, the npper ones in a compact corymb. Sepals 3, or- 

 bicular-cordate, about 3 lines lonn:, the 2 inner ones scarcely smaller than the 

 onter one. Corolla yellow, about \ in. long, glabrous outside, the lower 

 lobes winged, the 2 upper ones w^inged on the outer side only, witli a con- 

 cave densely hairy auricle below the wing. Style densely hairy. Capsule 

 shorter than the calvx. Seeds very flat and broad, with a thickish margin 

 not winged.— DC. Prod. vii. 518.

4. V. trinervis^ Lahill FL Nov, ITolL I 54. i. 77. Glabrous or 



rarely sprinkled with appressed haii's or in one variety villous. Ridical 



leaves on long petioles, broadly or narrow oblong, entire or remotely toothed, 



soiuetunes distinctly 3-nerved, but the veins usually very obscure. Scapes 



dichotomous, sometimes as in F". paradoxa, above 1 ft, high, ftith erect 



branches, sometimes low and ascending as in F. pubescens, the bracts under 



the folks lanceolate or linear, free or slightly connate at the base. Flowers 



small. ^ Sepals united in a campanulate calyx, about 2^ to 3 lines long, with 



a turbinate tube and 5 unequal lobes, the larger outer one usually longer 



than the tube. Corolla 5 to 6 lines long, slightly pubescent outside, the 



lobes all broadly winged, the 3 upper ones rather unequally so and separated 



neai-ly to the base. Dissepiment of the capsule more prominent than in most 



species, attaining nearly to the middle. Seeds flat, not wanged. — Goodenia

Ihe genns Eui/i ales was separated by Brown from Vellela solely on account of the 

 gamosepalous calyx, but that occurs also, though in a less degree, in F. connata ; F. Mueller 

 proposes to join it rather with Goodenia; but besides the inflorescence and capsule, which 

 3re entirely those of Velleia. the calyi is always free, whilst iu Goodenia the calyx-tube is 

 entirely adnate, and where that is very short the lobes are also aduate at the base, and per- 

 sist on the capsule. 



>ar. villosa, more or less villous, the leaves often very densely so on the under side, but 

 sonnetinies sprinkled only with a few hairs. Scapes numerous, ascending, rarely above 6 in.
