 tomous, with small opposite lanceolate free bracts at the forks. Flowers 

 small, yellow. Sepals 5, lanceolate, acute, about 2 lines long and nearly 

 equal or the outer one broader, usually hispid. Corolla not seen perfect but 

 apparently like those of other not spurred species. Capsule exceeding the 

 calyx, somewhat compressed, with the 2 valves not splitting so readily into 4 

 as in other species. Seeds orbicular, winged. 



"W. Australia. Bnimmond {2nd Coll.F), n. 402, 410. The Hool^'cnan and other 

 specuneus seen by De Vriese were referred by him to F. lanceolata, Lindl. {Goodenia fdi- 

 fonnis)y or to V. lyraia^ which is entirely eastern. 



8. V. lyrata, R. Br. Prod. 580. Glabrous except a few hairs 

 on the stock. Leaves radical, oblong-spathulate, deeply toothed below the 

 middle or lyrate-pinnatitid, often several in. long. Scopes erect or ascending. 

 6 in. to nearly 1 ft. high, dichotomous, with spreading branches, and small 

 opposite ovate-lanceolate or linear free bracts at the forks. Sepals 3, broadly 

 cordate, the outer ones 3 to 4 lines long and broad, the 2 others rather 

 smaller. Corolla yellow, about ^ in. long, glabrous outside, the lobes broadly 

 ^vinged, the 2 upper ones separated low down, unequally winged, with a 

 concave inflexed auricle near the base. Capsule rather shorter than the calyx. 

 Seeds orbicular, flat, with a rather thick margin, not winged. — DC. Prod. vii.

^ 9. V. macrocalyx, Be Vr. Gooden. 176. t. 34. Glabrous except a 

 little wool at the base of tlie leaves and the inflorescence sometimes slightly 

 pubescent. Rootstock often thick and elongated. Leaves radical, petiolate, 

 obovate-oblong or spathulate, often several in. long, obtuse, entire sinuate- 

 toothed or rarely abnost lyrate. Scapes sometimes short and few-flowered, 

 but when full grown | to 1 ft. high, dicbotomous, with spreading branches 

 and smalt narrow opposite bracts at the forks as in F. lyrata. Sepals 3, 

 ovate-lanceolate or almost ovate, mucronate-acute, obliquely cordate at the 

 l^^se, witli the margins slightly decurrent, the outer one often 5 lines long, 

 the others smnller. Corolla about 6 lines long, the 2 upper lobes separated
