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

 cornered near the top). Apocyndce^e. A monotypic 

 genus containing a South African shrub. John Saul, of 

 \Va^liint,'ti.ii, I). (_'., spoke of it as having racemes of 

 donlil,- w hit.' H-., borne on the point of every shoot, an.l 

 suL^L'.'^tiTi_- ilir I 'a})e Jessamine by their form and fra- 

 graii.'p. II.' iir..l.ably had some other plant in mind, for. 

 according to DeCandoUe, Gonioma has yellowish fls., 

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

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

 also advertised " Trtfiej^KEmon^ana Camell ice flora pleno 

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

 common Tahcrncemoiitana coronaria. Gonioma dif- 

 fers from Tabernfpmontana in having the ovules ar- 

 ranged in 2 series instead of an indefinite number of 

 series.

 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. 



GONIOPHLfiBIUM. A subgenus of Polypodium, with 

 anastomosing veins; by some regarded as a genus. For 

 G. subauricidatuni, see Polypodium. 



G0NI6PTEEIS (Greek, angled feni). PolypodiAcece. 

 A genus of tropical ferns allied to Phegopteris, with 

 naked rounded sori and the lower veinlets of contiguous 

 seginents or lobes united. By some placed under Poly- 

 podium.

 long, with a terminal pinnae 0-8 in. long, often 2 in. wide,

GOODIA (after Peter Good, who 

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

 f/um inosif. 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. outil.Hirs. Un- 

 der glass these shrubs are treated like 

 Cape heaths or Australian hard- 

 wooded plants. The gonus has jao 

 near allies of garden value. It be- 

 longs with 4 other Australian genera 

 to the sub-tribe Bossi«a, in which 

 the lvs. are mostly simple ; stamens 

 coalesced into a sheath, which is split 

 above: seeds strophiolate. From these 

 4 genera ( ;o.>aia .lift'.rs in having 3

 plant, if taken in hand by the flor- 

 ists, woulil prove quite as useful for 

 spriuir flowering as the popular Cy-
