LXVII. GOODENOVlEiE. 8&1 



alternate with the lobes of the corolla and inserted at the junction of the corolla- 

 tube with the ovary or very rarely shortly adnate to the corolla-tube ; anthers 2- 

 celled, ' the cells parallel, opening longitudinally, free or united in a ring round 

 the style. Ovary wholly or partially inferior, at least as to. the corolla, or rarely 

 free within the corolla-tube, 1 or 2-oelled ; ovules 1, 2 or more in each cell, erect 

 or ascending (except in Catosperma). Style simple and undivided (except in 

 Calogyne), with a cup-shaped or 2-lipped dilatation, called indmium, at the top, 

 enclosing the stigma. Fruit an indehiscent nut or drupe, or a capsule opening 

 in 2 or 4 valves or rarely bursting irregularly or almost indehiscent. Seeds with 

 a thin or orustaceous or thick and hard testa ; embyro straight in the centre of a 

 somewhat fleshy albumen, which is rarely deficient ; radicle next the hilum. 

 — Herbs undershrubs or rarely shrubs, the juice not milky. Leaves alternate 

 or radical, very rarely irregularly opposite, entire, toothed or rarely pinnatifid. 

 Flowers hermaphrodite, axillary or in terminal spikes, racemes or panicles, the 

 primary inflorescence centripetal, the secondary usually cymose and dichotomous. 

 Bracteoles on the 1 -flowered pedundes (when present) and bracts at the forks of 

 the dichotomous cymes, opposite. Corolla yellow blue or white, rarely red or 

 purple. 



The Order is almost exclusively Australian. It is, no doubt, allied to Campanulacete, but, 

 besides the differences in the ovules, fruit, and seeds, and the want of the milky juice of that 

 Order, Goodenoviete are readily known by the remarkable indusium, which evidently, together 

 with the peculiar surrounding hairs of the style or of the corolla, acts a oousiderablt, part in 

 assisting the proper impregnation of the stigma. — Benth. 



Ovules 2 or more In each cell of the ovary or on each side of the imperfect 



or rudimentary dissepiment. 



Anthers connate round the style. Capsule linear, 4-valved at least at the

1. LESCHENAULTIA, E. Br. 



(After M. Leschenault.) 

 (Latouria, De Vr.) 

 Calyx-tube linear, wholly adnate, lobes linear or lanceolate. Corolla oblique, 

 the tube slit open to the base or rarely closed, the lobes all or partially erect and 

 connivent or spreading. Anthers cohering round the style or rarely free. Ovary 

 inferior, completely 2-celled, with several, sometimes numerous ovules ascending 

 in 2 rows in each cell. Indusium broadly 2-lipped, the upper lip shorter, 

 glandular inside and with a half-ring of short hairs on the outside at the base, the 

 lower lip smooth or hairy inside ; stigma obsolete (or adnate to the upper lip ?) 

 Capsule linear, either entirely 4-valved, or seedless contracted and entire at the 

 top and sometimes between the seeds. Seeds usually truncate, and more or less
