| Tats delicate new Goodenia represents the entire plant, as communicated to the author by coe eat 
~ fewe de Vandes, in whose choice collection near Bayswater it flowered for the first time. It oa 
tainly one of the most graceful plants hitherto introduced from New South Wales. Its gener ve 
rior approaches very near a generic division of Goodénia called Velleia, and is by Labillardiere axe 
under the title of Velleia trinervis. The abundance and succession of its bright yellow blossom, oa 
‘to its light and airy appearance, will no doubt insure it a place in most collections.
