was sent to the late Dr. Joseph Bancroft with a note stating that the 

 aboriginal women gave it to their babies to cause them to sleep when on long 

 journeys. The writer, however, gave no information as to how the herb 

 was administered. Some species yield a bitter tonic extract. 



Section I. Eugoodenia. — Corolla with two upper lobes spUttiag much 

 lower than the others, and arching over the genitalia or rarely spreading. 

 Ovules either imbricate in 1 or 2 rows in each cell of the ovary or few and erect 

 from the base of the cavity. 



Series I. Bacemosce. — Flowers (yellow, white, or blue) in a long, terminal, 

 leafless, interrupted spike raceme or panicle. 



(Corolla-lobes less unequal.) — 16. G. Ramelii. 



Series II. Ccerulece. — Peduncles axillary, bracteolate (except G. Vilmor- 

 inise), 1 -flowered or the lower lobes loosely cymose. Flowers blue (except 

 G. erecta.) 



Bracteoles large, leafy, ovate or oblong. Plant glabrous. — 3. G. azurea. 

 Bracteoles linear or small. 



Flowers blue. — 17. G. scaevolina. 



Flowers yellow, in a narrow panicle, smaller than in G. scaevolina. — 

 6. G. erecta. 

 Bracteoles none. — 20. G. Vilmoriniffi. 

 (16. G. Ramelii, with a long, leafless panicle, has also the flowers blue.) 



Series III. Foliqsce. — -Erect or rarely decumbent herbs or undershrubs, 

 usually glandular-pubescent or hirsute, with leafy stems. Peduncles axillary, 

 1 -flowered, articulate under the flower, without bracteoles (or very rarely a 

 few peduncles have 1 or 2 minute ones). Flowers yellow, white, or purple. 



Stem-leaves all broad, abruptly petiolate or pinnate. Plant glandular- 

 pubescent or rarely glabrous, not villous. — 9. G. grandiflora. 



Stem-leaves contracted at the base into a short petiole or almost sessile. 

 Plant villous or silky -hairy. 



Villous, often viscid. Leaves toothed. No spur to the corolla. — 



10. G. heterochila. 

 Hairs appressed, almost silky. Leaves entire, long-lanceolate, 

 crowded. — 19. G. Strangfordii. 

 Stem-leaves sessile or stem-clasping. Annuals with spreading hairs. 

 Floral leaves sessile, narrow. Dissepiment of the capsule very short. 

 Calyx-lobes lanceolate or linear, leafy. Leaves mostly toothed. 

 — 18. G. sepalosa. 



Calyx-lobes linear-subulate. Stem-leaves mostly entire, linear 

 or hnear- lanceolate. — 11. G. hispida. 

 Floral leaves cordate, auriculate, not decurrent. Dissepiment of the 



capsule exceedingly short. — 2. G. auriculata. 

 Floral leaves more or less decurrent. Dissepiment reaching to the 

 middle of the capsule. — 1. G. Armstrongiana. 



Series IV. Pedicellosm. — Herbs with the leaves chiefly radical or tufted, 

 the stem leaves either free and distant or collected in terminal tufts, rarely 

 scattered and linear or reduced to bracts. Peduncles long, radical or in ter- 

 minal tufts, axillary, 1-flowered, without bracteoles. Glabrous or with scat- 

 tered or appressed or sOky hairs. 



Radical leaves pinnatifid. — 5. G. coronopifolia. 



Radical leaves entire, linear or lanceolate. — 7. G. glauca. 



Doubtful, perhaps allied to G. glauca, but foliage unknown. — 13. G. 

 microptera.
