tlie fruits many-seeded and of different structure, though the 

 membrane of the corolla-lobes is also white in that plant. The 

 analysis by Ver Huell, given for the fruit in De Vriese's Goode^ 

 novieaj, shows ripe seeds as ample as the fruit cavity ; we find 

 them much smaller and rather numerous, but in the present 

 species they may not be fully ripe, though already quite dark. 

 With G. scapigera our new plant shares in the shape of the 

 calyces and fruits, size of dissepiment and number of seeds, 

 diflering, however, extremely in foliage, much closer inflorescence, 

 and much longer pedicels. 



GooDENiA Watsoni, n. sp. W.A., near Gnarlbine. 



Perennial, herbaceous, almost glabrous ; leaves nearly all 

 radical, narrowly lanceolar or elliptic-cuneate, gradually 

 narrowed into their petioles, remotely denticulated from the 

 middle upward or only towards the summit ;, axils of petioles 

 lanuginous ; stems peduncle-like ; panicle rather long but con- 

 tracted ; flowers small ; pedicels short, most of them minutely 

 bibracteolate about the middle ; expanding membranes of the 

 corolla-lobes white, narrow without terminal dilations ; anthers 

 blunt ; style beset with minute hairlets ; stigma-cover glabrous 

 except with a hardly perceptible ciliolation at the orifice ; fruit 

 very small, globular-oval ; dissepiment reaching to beyond the 

 middle of the cavity ; seeds several in each cell, minute, dark- 

 brown, flat, devoid of marginal expansion. 



Here again we have a combination of characteristics of 

 G. scapigera and G. pinifolia, but reversedly as compared to 

 those of G. Elderi. Thus G. Watsoni has the leaves like those of 

 G. scapigera, but the small flowers and fruits quite similar to 

 those of G. pinifolia, though in much less spreading panicle. 



The species name is in compliment to Professor Watson, of the 

 Adelaide University, who as Sir Thomas Elder's representative 

 has so largely identified himself with the organisation of the 

 Expedition. 



GooDENiA STROPiiiOLATA, F. V. M. W.A., 30 miles N.W. 

 from Fraser Range, Karolin. Also found at Parker's Range 

 and Yilgarn by Merrall, between the Great Bight and Victoria 

 Spring lay Crawford, and near Youndegin by Miss A. Eaton. 



GooDENiA XAXTHOSPEEMA, F. V. M. W.A., Victoria Desert 

 (Camps 44, 50, 54). The radical leaves provided only with very 

 short petioles, the thick portion of the corolla-lobes thinly 

 pubescent on the outside.

GooDENiA ccERULEA, R. Bvoivn. W.A., between Red Hill and 

 J^il.garn, and near Warangering.
