 ing many yellow fls. : sepals ovate, rounded, apiculate, 

 the lateral ones oblique ; petals one-half as long as the

0. fuscdta, Hort. (Acropera fuseata and luteola, Hort.), has 

 been cult, for many years, but no description is available.

GONIOMA (Greek, gonia, angle, corner; the corona 

 cornered near the top). Apocyndcece. A monotypic 

 genus containing a South African shrub. John Saul, of 

 Washington, D. C., spoke of it as having racemes of 

 double white fls., borne on the point of every shoot, and 

 suggesting the Cape Jessamine by their form and fra- 

 grance. He probably had some other plant in mind, for, 

 according to DeCaiidolle, Gonioma has yellowish fls., 

 only a third of an inch long, borne in cymes which are 

 shorter than the Ivs., the Ivs. being l%-2 in. long. Saul 

 also advertised " Taberncemontana Camell ice flora pleno 

 Glory of the Day," which may have been a variety of the 

 common Taberncemontana coronaria. Gonioma dif- 

 fers from Tabernaemontana in having the ovules ar- 

 ranged in 2 series instead of an indefinite number of 

 series. 



Kamassi, E.Mey. ( Taberncemontdna Camdssi, Regel). 

 Height 16-20 ft.: Ivs. opposite or the upper ones in 

 3's, oblong-lanceolate, entire, leathery, 4-6 lines wide: 

 cymes small, terminal, 8-10-fld. : fls. salver-shaped, yel- 



42 



lowish, 3 lines long; tube a little wider at the middle and 

 angled, constricted at top, pilose within from the middle 

 to the top; lobes a third as long as the tube, ovate, cor- 

 date, twisted to the right in the bud; style 2-cut. 



GONIOPHLEBIUM. A subgenus of Polypodium, with 

 anastomosing veins; by some regarded as a genus. For 

 G. subauriculatum, see Polypodium. 



GONI0PTERIS (Greek, angled fern}. Polypodidcece. 

 A genus of tropical ferns allied to Phegopteris, with 

 naked rounded sori and the lower veinlets of contiguous 

 segments or lobes united. By some placed under Poly- 

 podium. 



crenata, Presl. Lvs. 1-2 ft. long, on stalks nearly as 

 long, with a terminal pinnae 6-8 in. long, often 2 in. wide, 

 and 4-8 similar lateral pinnae; margins bluntly lobed; 

 sori near the main veins. Cuba and Mexico to Brazil.

GOOBER is a commoner name in the South than 

 "Peanut," which is the universal name in the North.

GOODIA (after Peter Good, who 

 found the plant in N. S. Wales). Le- 

 yuminosae. An Australian genus of 2 

 species of shrubs, with pea-like fls., 

 chiefly yellow, but with red markings. 

 Both species have long been cult, in 

 a few conservatories abroad, but the 

 pubescent species is now forgotten 

 and the glabrous one, in America is 

 cult, chiefly in S. Calif, outdoors. Un- 

 der glass these shrubs are treated like 

 Cape heaths or Australian hard- 

 wooded plants. The gonus has no 

 near allies of garden value. It be- 

 longs with 4 other Australian genera 

 to the sub-tribe Bossiaea, in which 

 the Ivs. are mostly simple : stamens 

 coalesced into a sheath, which is split 

 above: seeds strophiolate. From these 

 4 genera Goodia differs in having 3 

 leaflets, and its racemes terminal or 

 opposite the Ivs. instead of axillary. 



A. Schultheis writes that Goodias 

 are occasionally seen in florists' win- 

 dows in America. Wm. Watson, of 

 Kew, says the fls. are very fragrant, 

 and remain on the plant a long time. 

 He adds (G.F. 2:244) : "Probably this 

 plant, if taken in hand by the flor- 

 ists, would prove quite as useful for 

 spring flowering as the popular Cy- 

 tisus racemosus." 



lotifdlia, Salisb. Often misspelled 

 "latifolia," but the name means 

 "lotus-leaved." Glabrous shrub de- 

 scribed above. B.M. 958. J.H. III. 

 29:484. Likely to be confused with 

 Argyrolobium Andrew siamtm, be- 

 longing to the Crotalaria subtribe, in 

 which the seeds are not strophiolate. 

 In Argyrolobium the 3 leaflets are 

 digitate and the stipules, bracts and 

 bractlets small but persistent. A. 

 Andrewsianum has sparsely silky 

 Ivs. In Goodia the 3 leaflets are pin- 

 nately arranged, and 

 the stipules, bracts and 

 bractlets very evanes- 

 cent. W . M .
