HORN EXPEDITION — BOTANY. 189 



quartei'-iuch diameter, the bracts oblong acute. Ray-florets quarter-inch lung. 

 Scales of the receptacle acute. Achenes winged and tuberculate. Pappus not 

 cupped, reduced to a Ijristle or two at the end of the wings. 



This new species belongs to that group in which the outer involucral bracts 

 are similar to the inner ones, and of these to those in which the pappus is reduced 

 to one or two bristles. It, however, resembles most IF. spilanthoides in its long 

 rigid sulitary peduncles. From W. hiflora and W. asperriina, it is separable among 

 other characters by the winged and tuberculated achenes. 



GOODENIA HORNIAXA, Tate. 



Stem erect, woody, usually branched, not exceeding one foot. Leaves softly 

 but minutely glandular-pubescent or tomentose, rhombic-oval, coarsely serrate, 

 half to three-quarter inch diameter, on petioles about as long as the blade. 

 Peduncles axillary, slightly shorter than the leaf-stalks, one-flowered, with a slender 

 linear bracteole below the middle. Calyx-lobes linear-lanceolate, glandular-pubes- 

 cent. Corolla large, about one inch long, bluish-white streaked with purple, silky 

 pubescent outside, hirsute inside, but the auricles smooth inside and outside ; the 

 two upper lobes niore deeply separated, all the lobes broadly membranously winged, 

 the adnate part of the tube with a slight baccate protuberance. Style almost as 

 long as the corolla, silky-hairy throughout its length ; stigmatic cover purple, 

 smooth or with a few hairs at the base, fringed with short erect white hairs at the 

 oriflce. Capsule about half-inch long ; dissepiment reaching about two-thirds the 

 length of the capsule ; seeds several in two rows, small, orbicular, flat, shining 

 brown, minutely granular, with a narrow smooth thickened margin. 



This species conies near G. graiidiflura and G. Cliai/ibersii, from which it con- 

 spicuously diflers by the violet (not yellow) colour of its flowers and by the presence 

 of distinct bracteoles. 



GooDENiA Lakapinta, Tate. 



An erect, unbranched, viscid-villous herb, about one foot in height. Leaves 

 oval-lanceolate, distinctly serrate, sessile. Peduncles one-flowered, axillary, longer 

 than the subtending leaves. Bracteoles none or liliform and minute. Calyx-lobes 

 linear-lanceolate. Corolla about half-inch long, the three lower lobes broadly 

 winged ; the two upper ones separated much lower down than the others, shorter, 

 narrower, less l)roadly winged, but with an auricK; on the outer margin below the 

 middle. Style under quarter-inch long, smooth ; the stigma cover smooth, except
