 leaves ovate, membranous: upper ones crowded ; peduncles 1- 

 flowered, from the axils of the upper leaves. Tf.. G. Native 

 of New Holland, within the tropic. Corolla purplish. Perhaps 

 the corolla is unilabiate, or probably nearly regular. 



Z)n>ar/Goodenia. PI. creeping. 



Cult. All the species of this genus are worth cultivating for 

 ornament. They grow freely in a mixture of sand, loam, and 

 peat ; and young cuttings of most of the species strike root 

 freely in the same kind of soil, under a hand-glass ; and all may 

 be raised from seed, which ripen plentifully.

 ovarium ; limb free, 5-parted. Corolla deciduous, with the tube 

 cleft behind, 5-parted, spreading, somewhat bilabiate ; segments

 sequence of the dissepiment being short ; valves parallel. Seeds 

 imbricate, compressed, orbicular, girded by a membranous bor- 

 der. An annual hairy plant, with almost simple stems. Leaves 

 alternate, toothed. Flowers axillary, solitary, on long peduncles, 

 racemose, bractless, yellow.

 Holland, on the Western Coast, in Sharks' Bay. Goodenia Ber- 

 ardiana, Gaud.

Cult. Rear the seeds in a frame in the spring, and about the 

 end of May put the plants out into the open border in a warm 

 situation. 



III. CALO'GYNE (from xaXos, kalos, beautiful, and yuyjj, 

 gune, a female ; in reference to the stigma). R. Br. prod. 

 p. 579. 



LIN. SYST. Pentdndria, Monogynia. Calyx superior ; limb 

 5-parted, with equal segments. Corolla bilabiate. Anthers dis- 

 tinct. Style trifid. Gland epigynous between the 2 lower 

 filaments. Capsule subunilocular from the dissepiment being 

 short. Seeds imbricate, compressed. A pilose annual herb, 

 with the habit of Goodenia, and when dry having an odour like 

 that of vernal grass. Leaves toothed or cut ; floral ones auri- 

 culated at the base. Peduncles axillary, 1-flowered, bractless, 

 reflexed while bearing the fruit This genus is separated from 

 Goodenia alone from the trifid style ; each division being fur- 

 nished with an indusiate stigma. 



1 G. PILOSA (R. Br. 1. c.). Q . G. Native of New Holland, 

 within the tropic. 



Pilose Calogyne. PI. ^ foot. 



Cult. Sow the seeds of this plant in spring, in a pot filled 

 with a mixture of sand, loam, and peat, and place it in a hot-bed; 

 and when the plants are of sufficient size, plant them separately 

 into other pots. 



IV. EUTHA'LES (from e, eu, well, and 

 sprout). R. Br. prod. p. 579. 



, thallo, to 



LIN. SYST. Pentdndria, Monogynia. Calyx inferior, tubular, 

 5-cleft, unequal. Corolla adhering to the tube beneath the 

 ovarium, cleft on one side at the apex ; limb bilabiate. Anthers 

 distinct. Style undivided. Indusium of stigma bilabiate. Cap- 

 sule 4-valved, 2-celled at the base. Seeds imbricated, com- 

 pressed. A stemless herb, with the habit and inflorescence of 

 Velleia. The corolla in this genus and Velleia is semi-superior, 

 and joined with the calyx at the base. The genus is interme- 

 diate between Goodenia and Velleia, but differs from them in the 

 calyx being tubular.

 Holland, on the South Coast. Velleia trinervis, Labill. nov.

 PI. 1 foot. 



Cult. A mixture of loam, peat, and sand is the best soil for 

 this plant ; and it must be but sparingly watered, as it is very 

 delicate, and apt to damp off. It is increased, but sparingly, by 

 dividing, and by seed.

 nous between the 2 anterior filaments. Capsule 2-celled at the 

 base ; valves bipartite. Seeds imbricate, compressed. Stem- 

 less herbs. Leaves radical, subspatulate, usually toothed, but
