often arching- over tlie genitalia or rarely all 5 lobes nearly equal and digi- 

 tntely spreading, all equally winged or the upper lobes with the wing more 

 decurrent on the outer side, and sometimes dilated into a concave, inflexed 

 auncle, which is usually thinner and less coloured than iu Dawpicra. Sta- 

 mens free. Ovary inferior (at least as to the corolla), except the convex 

 sunnnit more or less prominent within the corolla, more or less 2-celled, the 

 dissepiment from almost rudimentary to reaching nearly to the top of the 

 cavity, always with a curved notch at the top, leaving the summit of the 

 ovary l-celled. Ovules ascending, rarely solitary in each cell, usually several 

 m 2 rows, sometimes blended into 1 or crowded in more than 2 rows. Style 

 undivided. Indusium cup-shaped, enclosing the truncate or divaricately 

 2-lobed stigma. Capsule opening in 2 valves parallel to the dissepiment or 

 I'arely splitting into 4 valves. Seeds usually flat, with a callous or winged 

 uiargin, rarely thicker, and not bordered. Embryo usually about half as 

 long as the albumen or shorter. — Herbs undershrubs or rarely shrubs. 

 Leaves alternate or radical. Peduncles either axillary or in terminal racemes 

 or panicles, 1-flowered, with or without bracteoles or bearing a cyme or 

 cluster of few flowers, which are usually pedicellate above the bracts or rarely 

 sessile between them. 



The species are all limited to Austraha ; a few have the corolla, and some others the hahit 

 of Scavoluy but the majority are different from that genus in both respects, and all are 

 readily known by their dehiscent capsule as well as by the ovules ] in all, except G. harbata, 

 more than one in each cell or on each side of the dissepiment.
