obtuse, entire, sinuate-toothed or rarely almost lyrate. Scapes sometimes short 

 and few-ilowered, but when full grown J to 1ft. high,'dichotomous, with spread- 

 ing branches and small narrow opposite bracts at the forks. Sepals 3, 

 ovate-lanceolate or alinost ovate, mucronate-acute, obliquely cdrdate ' at the 

 base, with the margins slightly deourrent, the outer one often 5 lines long, 

 the others smaller. Corolla about 6 lines long, the 2 upper lobes separated lower 

 down than the others and winged on one side only. Capsule rather shorter than 

 the calyx. Seeds flat, brownish orbicular-ovate, nearly a line and a-half long, 

 not winged. — F. v. M. Fragm. xi. 75. 

 Hab.: Burdekin Eiver, F. v. Mueller. 



4. V. pubescens (hairy), R. Br. Prod. 581 ; Benth. Fl. Austr. iv. 49. 

 Softly pubescent or villous. Leaves radicle, petiolate, oblong-spathulate and 2 

 to 4in. long or shorter and almost obovate, irregularly toothed or lobed towards 

 the base. Scapes ascending, shortly exceeding the leaves, diohotomous, with 

 small opposite lanceolate bracts at the forks. Sepals 3, broadly ovate or the 

 inner ones ovate-lanceolate, sometimes shortly united at the base, not decurrent. 

 Corolla pubescent outside, 6 or 7 lines long, the lobes all broadly winged, but the 

 wings in some specimens soon disappearing, the 2 upper lobes separated almost 

 to the base and auriculate on the outer side below the wing. — DC. Prod. vii. 618.

5. V. spathulata (leaves spooii-shaped), B. Br. Prod. 680 ; Benth. Fl. 

 Austr. iv. 50. Glabrous except the woolly axils. Leaves radical,' mostly oblong- 

 spathulate and 2 to 3in. long, but sometimes shorter and obovate or longer and 

 narrow, entire or with minute distant teeth. Scapes slender, ascending or 

 spreading, rarely above 6in. long, sornetimes very much branched and almost 

 filiform, the bracts at the forks small, oblong or linear. Flowers small, yellow. 

 Sepals 3, scarcely 3 lines long, oblong-lariceolate or the outer one almost ovate 

 and slightly cordate. Corolla 4 to 6 lines long, 4he 2 upper lobes separated low 

 down and winged on one side only. Seeds flat, with a thickish border, not 

 winged or rarely with a very narrow wing. — DC. Prod. vii. 518 ; De Vr. Gooden.

3. GOODENIA, Sm. 

 (In honor of Dr. Goodenough.) 

 (Piorophyta, F. v. M.; Stekhovia, Tetraphylax and Aillya, De Vr.) 

 Calyx-tube adnate, sometimes exceedingly short, and usually shorter than 

 the ovary; lobes 5, sometimes adnate at the base. Corolla-tube with the adnate 

 part blended with the calyx-tube or produced above it or with a hollow protu- 

 berance on the under side between the calyx- lobes, sometimes forming a spur 

 at the base of the calyx, slit on the upper side down to the adnate part, the limb 

 oblique, the 2 upper lobes separated lower down, and often arching over the 

 genitalia or rarely all 5 lobes nearly equal and digitately spreading, all equally 

 winged or the upper lobes with the wing more deourrrent on the outer side, and 

 sometimes dilated into a concave, inflexed auricle, which is usually thinner and 

 less coloured than in Dampiera. Stamens free. Ovary inferior (at least as to 

 the corolla), except the convex surrimit more or less prominent within the 

 corolla, more or less 2-oelied, the dissepiment from almost rudimentary to 

 reaching nearly to the top of the cavity, always with a curved notch at the top, 

 leaving the summit of the ovary 1-celled. Ovules ascending, rarely solitary 

 in each cell, usually several in 2 rows, sometimes blended into 1 or crowded in
