Ooodenia.] LXVII. ' GOODENOVIE^. 896 



more than 2 rows. Style undivided. Indusium cup-shaped, enclosing the trun- 

 cate or divaricately 2-lobed stigma. Capsule opening in 2 valves parallel to the 

 dissepiment or rarely splitting into 4 valves. Seeds usually flat, with a callous 

 or winged margin, rarely thicker, and not bordered. Embryo usually about half 

 as long as the albumen or shorter. — Herbs undershrubs or rarely shrubs. Leaves 

 alternate or radical. Peduncles either axillary or in terminal racemes or panicles, 

 1-flowered, with or without bracteoles or bearing a cynie or cluster of few 

 flowers, which are usually pedicellate above the bracts or rarely sessile between 

 them. 



The species are all limited to Australia ; a few liave the corollas, and some others the habit of 

 Scievola, but the majority are different from that genus in both respects, and all are readily 

 known by their dehiscent capsule as well as by the ovules ; in all, more than one in each cell 

 or on each side of the dissepiment. — Benth. 



Sect. I. EugTOOdenla. — Corolla with the 2 upper lobes separated 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 thdovary- or few and erect from the base of the cavity. 



Sekies I. RacemosCB. — Flowers (yellmb, white; or blue) in a long, terminal, leafless, inter- 

 rupted spike raceme or panicle. 



Peduncles short, the lower ones often several-flowered, the upper 

 1-flowered. Flowers yellow. Leaves linear, entire, very narrowly 



decumbent ., 1. G.racemosa. 



Flowers (yellow) in sessile clusters along the common rhachis. Leaves 

 all or chiefly radical. 

 Leaves from obovate to narrow oblong-spathulate, mostly toothed . . 2. G. bellidifolia.

SEKrES II. Bracteolats. — Peduncles axillary or radical or the upper ones very shortly 

 racemose, bracteol'ate, 1 -flowered, or when several-flowered the bracteoles at the base of the pedicels. 

 Flowers yellow or white. 



Glabrous, viscid or rarely viseid-villous undershrubs or shrubs. Leaves 

 ovate, obovate, elliptical or lanceolate. Common peduncles very 

 short, at least the lower ones, bearing , several flowers. Leaves 

 petiolate. Capsule cylindrical, the dissepiment reaching far above 



the middle i. G. ovata. 



Glabrous or hoary pubescent visoid-villous herb. Leaves linear. 

 Peduncles 1-flowered. Bracteoles very small. Dissepiment short. 



Ovules few. Seeds flat, oblong ■ S. G. disperma. 



Villous or rarely glabraus herbs, with tufted or rdsulate, radical leaves, 

 and decumbent, .prcistrate or creeping stems (very rarely nearly 

 erect).' Peduncles l-flowered, radical or axillary, oftein long. 

 Calyx-lobes linear, obtuse. Leaves linear-spathulate or narrow- 

 oblong, entire or sinuate, all radical or stems shortly ascending . 6. G. geniculata. 

 Calyx-lobes subulate or acuminate. 

 Bracteoles at a distance from the flowers. 

 Pedicels filiform.

 flagellate. 



Plant glabrous 9- G. glabra. 



Plant very villous . , 10. G . strongylophylla. 



Bracteoles close to the calyx ... 11. G. rotundifolia. 



Series in. Poliosae.— JSrect or rarely decumbent herbs or undershrubs, usually glandular- 

 pubescent or hirmte, with leafy stems. Peduncles axillary, 1-j/iowered, 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 allTjroad, abruptly petiolate or pinnate. Plant glandular- 

 pubescent or rarely glabrous, not villous. 

 Leaves more or less pinnate. 

 Protuberance of the corolla-tube produced into a spar . ■ . . . . 12. G. calcarata. 

 Protuberance of the corolla-tube decurrent but not spurred. Ter- , , , 



minal lobe of the leaves truncate or cordate at the base, lateral 

 ones few or none ■ ..... 13. G. grandiflora.
