Goodmiia.] LXVII. GOODENOVIEiE. 897 



1-flowered. Calyx-lobes subulate. Corolla slightly glandular-pubescent, about 

 ^in. long, the upper lobes separate lower down than the others. Ovary very 

 prominent within the corolla-tube, the dissepiment short ; ovules not numerous, in 

 2 rows in each cell. Capsule ovoid, about 3 lines long. Seeds rather large, flat, 

 Hab.: Arid ranges on the Burnett River, F. v. Mueller. 



2. G. bellidifolia (Daisy-leaved) ; Sm. in Trans. Linn. Soc. ii, 849 ; Benth. 

 Fl. Amtr. iv. 58. A perennial with a tufted stock, glabrous except the inflores- 

 cence, or the base of the leaves also pubescent, the flowering stems leafless or 

 nearly so, 1 to l|ft. high. Leaves radical, petiolate, from broadly obovate and 



1 to Hin. long to narrow oblong-spathulate and 3 to 4in. long, always broader 

 than in G. stelligera, entire or irregularly toothed, rather thick ; the stem' ones 

 few and very small or none besides the small floral bracts. Flowers rather 

 small, sessile or nearly so in little clusters along the rhachis of a long interrupted 

 spike, the upper ones usually solitary. Braoteoles small. Calyx-lobes linear or 

 subulate. Corolla less villous outside than in G. stelligera, rarely ^in. long, the 

 upper lobes separate low down and unequally winged. Dissepiment of the ovary 

 reaching high up ; ovules in 2 rows in each cell. Indusiam ciliate. Capsule 

 ovoid, about 2 to 2^ lines long. Seeds flat, with a thiekish border. — E. Br 

 Prod. 575 ; DC. Prod- vii. 513 ; De Vr. Gooden. 122, 



Hab.: Dawson Eiver, K v. Mueller; near Brisbane, Leichhardt; very common in southern 

 localities. 



3. G. Stelligera (pubescence starry), R. Br. Prod. 575 ; Benth. Fl. Auatr. 

 iv. 59. A perennial, with a tufted stock and erect, almost leafless stems of 1 to 

 l^ft., glabrous or the inflorescence pubescent. Radical leaves linear or slightly 

 linear-cuneate, obtuse, rather thick, entire, sometimes 5 or Sin. long but usually 

 half that size ; stem-leaves very few and much shorter, floral ones reduced to 

 linear bracts. Flowers yellow, sessile or nearly so, in distant clusters of 2 or 3, 

 the upper ones solitary, in a long, interrupted spike. Calyx-lobes linear or 

 linear-lanceolate. Corolla densely villous outside, with a glandular pubescence 

 concealed under the longer hairs, 7 to 8 lines long, the upper lobes separated low 

 down, and unequally winged. Dissepiment of the ovary reaching high up ; 

 ovules in 2 rows in each cell. Indusiam ciliate. Capsule ovoid-oblong, 3 to 

 4 lines long. Seeds flat, with a thiekish border. — DC. Prod. vii. 513; De Vr. 

 Gooden. 124 ; 8. armeriafolia, Sieb. ; DC. Prod. vii. 513 ; De Vr. Gooden. 129, 

 as to the eastern plant ; G. longifolia, De Vr. Gooden. 127. 



Hab.: Moreton Island, M'Gillivray, F. v. Mueller ; very common in southern looaRties. 

 Some of the more luxuriant specimens proliferous-branched, with tufts of leaves and a 

 secondary flowering-stem. — Benth. 



4. G> ovata (leaves ovate), Sm. m Trans. Linn. Soc. ii. 347 ; Benth. Fl. 

 Austr. iv. 59. An ereijt, glabrous, often somewhat viscid shrub or undershrub of 



2 to 4ft. Leaves petiolate, from ovate to broadly lanceolate or the lower ones 

 sometimes orbicular-cordate, denticulate, 1 to 2in. long. Peduncles axillary, 

 often 2 together or forked near the base, slender and often several-flowered, but 

 rarely exceeding the leaves. Bracteoles very small, at a distance from the 

 flower. Calyx-lobe linear, lobes subulate. Corolla yellow, glabrous outside, about 

 ^in. long, the upper lobes deeply separate. Dissepiment reaching high up in the 

 ovary. Indusium strongly ciliate. Capsule narrow, 4 to 6 lines long, slightly 

 tapering at the base. Seeds flat, almost in a single row in each cell. — Cav. lo. 

 vi. t. 506 ; Vent Jard. Cels. t. 3 ; Andr. Bot. Eep. t. 68 ; R. Br. Prod. 576 ;

 Camp. Fl. PI. N.S.W. No. 28. 



Hab.: Inland, principally, to Springsure, where it has been suspected of poisoning stock. In 

 Queensland, the leaves are much smaller than on the plants in the southern (jolonies.
