ORDER XC. GOODBNOVIE^. 



An almost exclusive Australian Order, with a few in New Zealand 

 and adjacent countries, one species only reaching to Africa. None of 

 the species have any really useful properties, though some are used 

 medicinally in the countries of which they are natives, and the pith of 

 one species, Sc^vola Taccada, is extensively used for making ornaments. 

 Several of the species are in cultivation as ornamental plants in 

 Europe. 



Number of species more than 200. 



Corolla longitudinally cleft, limb 5 parted. Scaevola.

ORDER XCI. CAMPANULACE^, 



An Order which includes a large number of ornamental plants? 

 such as the Campanulas, or "Canterbury bell." Wahlenbergias, 

 Lobehas and others ; Init very few have any real economic value. The 

 roots of Campanula Hapunculus are eaten, and said to be agreeable 

 and easy of digestion, and others of the genus have been used medi- 

 cinally. " Indian Tobacco," Lobelia injiafa, is used medicinally, but 

 it is highly poisonous, as also are several other closely allied plants. 

 Our indigenous species have no known useful properties.
