20 Phanerogamia of the Mitta Mitta Source Basin 



No. 35 — Goodeniace^: (R. Br.). 



1. Goodenia ovta (Sm.). — This species so common 

 along the coast in Gippsland is here restricted 

 to sub-Alpine heights of 3000 feet, on Silurian 

 soils. 



1. Velleia paradoxa (R. Br.). — Common both on the 

 metamorphic schists around Omeo, and on the 

 tablelands up to 6000 feet. 



IV. — SYNPETALJE-HYPOGYN.E. 



No. 36 — Gentiane^e ( ). 

 Genera — Erythrsea and Gentiana. 



1. E. Australis (B. Br.). — Is abundant on ranges around 

 Omeo, and ascends to the basaltic plateaux 

 Bogong High Plains. Its pink flowers arranged 

 in corymbrose panicles render it easily known. 



1. G. Saxosa ( ). — More abundant on the higher 

 Alpine slopes and terraces. It differs from Ery- 

 thrsea in not leaving the calyx divided at the base, 

 and the anthers not becoming spirally twisted as 

 they wither.

Genera — Gratiola, Veronica, Euphrasia.

 found growing along the moist margins of the 

 principal streams, up to 4000 feet, on alluvium 

 principally. It posseses purgative properties. 



1. V. gracilis (R. Br.). — On the open sunny slopes near 



Omeo this blue- flowered species is prevalent ; 

 principally on mica schist formation. 



2. V. Derwentii (And.). — Abundant on all shaded situa- 



tions, where moisture aids their growth ; ascend- 

 ing to Alpine elevations of 5000 feet. 



3. V. perfoliata (R. Br.). — Most abundant on Dividing 



Range between Mount Sisters and Mount Tarnbo 

 east of Omeo Plains, particularly on quartz porphyry
