proach seems to me to be the free summit of the ovary. The ovules liuilted to 2 or 1, and 

 the fruit, a hard indehiscent nut, are entirely those of Scavo/a. 



49. S, fasciculata, BeuiL in Hueg. Emm, 68. An erect shrub of 3 

 or 3 ft., nearly glabrous except some long woolly hairs at the bnse of the 

 leaves. Branches virgate. Leaves linear almost setaceous, clustered at the 

 nodes, from 2 to 4 lines or rarely ^ in. long, the upper and floral ones similar 

 but less clustered. Flowers small, numerous, sessile in the upper axils, 



rminal leafy spike. Bracteoles linear, usually unequal. Calyx- 

 lobes linear, as long as the 5-rihbed tube. Corolla about 4 lines long, 

 white, often with dark spots in the throat, glabrous outside, the lobes about 

 as long as thetube, their margins induplicate but not so distinctly winged as 

 in most species. Ovary 1-celled, with a single ovule, the convex summit 

 shortly free within the corolla. Style covered with short dark glandular 

 hairs. Fruit ovoid, 1 to l^- lines long, rather more than half inferior.— DC.

50. S. stenophylla, Be)d7i. An erect glabrous shrub witb numerous 

 virgate branches. Leaves rather crowded but not clustered, very narrow 

 linear, almost terete, i to 1 in. long or sometimes more, quite entire, the 

 floral ones reduced to short bracts, all but the lower ones scarcely exceeding 

 the calyx. Plowers numerous, sessile or nearly so in terminal spikes. 

 Bracteoles very small. Calyx-tube scarcely J line long, the lobes oblong, 

 erect. Corolla glabrous outside, alwut 5 lines long, the entire part much 

 shorter than the lobes, the adnate part of the tube with a slight coucave 

 protuberance on the lower side. Ovary 1-celled, with 2 ovules, the very 

 convex summit free within the corolla. Style hispid with short purple glan- 

 dular hairs. Indusium very deep, not ciliate. Fruit ovoid, 1 to \\ lin^* 

 long, rather more than half inferior. Seeds 1 or 2, oval-oblong, more or less 

 flattened, especially when both ripen, not bordered.— Goodenia stenophi/Ua,

Calyx-tube adnate, limb of 5 distinct segments. Corolla oblique, the tube 

 entire, the lobes nearly equal, spreading. Stamens free, entirely included as 

 well as the style in the tube of the corolla. Indusium cup-sliaped, entire. 

 Ovary wholly inferior, 1-celled, with 2 erect ovules. Fruit small, ovoid, clry 

 or nearly so, but indehiscent. Seeds of Sctetola.—llah with linear leaves. 

 Flowers axillary, pedunculate, solitary between 2 bracteoles. 



The genus is limited to a single species, enaemic in Australia, closely allied to ScatoU, 

 differing in the nearly regular corolla enclosing the genitalia in its tube.
