Sect. II. Eugoodenia. Corolla witli the 2 upper lobes separated mucli 

 lower than the others and arching over the genitalia or rarely sprenrling. 

 Ovules either imbricate in 1 or 2 rows in each cell of the ovary or fcw^ and

5- G. quadrilocularis, R, Br, Prod, 578. Glabrous, erect, with 

 hard simple or slightly-branched stems, 1 to 1-^ ft. high, leafy only in the 

 lower half. Leaves petiolate, from obovate or oblong-spathulate to lanceo- 

 late, toothed, the larger ones often 2 to 3 in. long, the upper ones smaller 

 and more sessile, the floral ones reduced to small linear bracts or the lowest 

 rarely larger and more leafy. Flowers solitary under each bract in a terminal 

 virgate interrupted raceme, the upper pedicels very short, with the linear 

 bracteoles close under the flower, the lower ones sometimes very long, with 

 the bracteoles distant. Calyx-tube nearly 3 lines long, the lobes shorter, 

 lanceolate. Corolla slightly pubescent outside, f in. long, the upper lobes 

 separated low down, with a broad wing on the outside, forming a slightly 

 concave auncle. Ovary 2-celled nearly to the summit, with numerous 

 ovules in 2 rows in each cell. Capsule about | in. long, splitting at length 

 to the base into 4 valves marked on the inside with the impressions of the
