Goo'Uwia.] LXVII. GOODENOVIE^. 901 



Calyx-lobes linear. Corolla silky, pubescent outside, 7 to 8 lines long in most 

 specimens, the upper lobes deeply separated, rather short, broadly auriculate. 

 Dissepiment of the ovary reaching above the middle ; ovules rather numerous. 

 Seeds orbicular, flat, not winged. 



Hab.: Gulf country. 



Var. grandiflora. Flowers much larger, the lower peduncles long, with 2 long, linear 

 bracteoles.— Flinders Eiver, Kennedy (Herb. F. v. M.) This is the form figured by Mueller. 



16. Cr. Mitchellii (after Sir T. Mitchell), Benth. Fl. Austr. iv. 71. A densely 

 villous-tomentose, rather coarse perennial, with decumbent or ascending stems, 

 under 1ft. Radical and lower leaves on long petioles, obovate-oblong, coarsely 

 toothed or almost pinnatifid, thick and soft, 2 to 3in. long, the upper 

 ones small, the uppermost floral ones scarcely |in. long, but all more or 

 less petiolate. Peduncles 1 -flowered, without bracteoles. Calyx-lobes narrow- 

 linear. Corolla about fin. long, apparently yellow, hirsute outside, the upper 

 lobes rather shorter, separated almost at the base, with concave auricles, the tube 

 with a small, concave protuberance, forming a minute spur at the base of the 

 calyx. Dissepiment of the ovary exceedingly short ; ovules few. CapSuJe globu- 

 lar, about 3 lines diameter. Seeds usually 1 or 2 only perfect, large, flat, with 

 a broad, thick margin, not winged. 



Hab.: In the interior, Mitchell. 



17. Cr. heterochila (lip-various), F. v. M. Fragm. iii. 142 ; Benth. Fl. 

 Amtr. iv. 71. Herbaceous, softly pubescent or villous. Leaves oval-oblong or 

 lanceolate, entire or toothed, 1 to 2in. long, contracted at the base, the lower 

 ones not seen. Peduncles 1-flowered, axillary, slender, shorter than the leaves, 

 articulate under the flower. Bracteoles none or very minute. Calyx-lobes linear 

 or setaceous. Corolla under ^in. long, the 3 lower lobes winged and truncate, 

 the 2 upper ones separate lower down and shorter, narrow-lanceolate, acute, 

 scarcely winged, but with an auricle on the outer side below the middle. 

 Dissepiment of the ovary very short ; ovules 4 or 5, large and flat. 



Hab.: Northern interior. 



18. G. hispida (plant hispid), E. Br. Prod. 577 ; Ben(li. Fl. Austr. iy. 72. 

 Apparently annual, hispid with rigid spreading hairs, which almost disappear 

 from the old plants. Stems slender, erect, branching, J to 1ft. long or rarely 

 more. Badical leaves sometimes oblong and narrowed into a .<?hort petiole, all 

 the others sessile, linear or narrow-lanceolate, 1 to 2in. long, entire «r with a 

 very few acute prominent teeth, especially near the base. Peduncles in the 

 upper axils often longer than the leaves, without bracteoles. Calyx-lobes subu- 

 late. Corolla hairy outside, about ^in. long, the 2 upper lobes separated low 

 down. Capsule globular or ovoid. Dissepiment exceedingly short. Seeds flat, 

 not winged.— DC. Prod. vii. 515 ; De Vr. Gooden. 133. 



Hab.: Islands of the Gulf of Carpentaria, R. Brown. 



19. Cr. mollissima (plant very soft), F. v. M. Herh.; Benth. Fl. Austr. iv. 73. 

 A small plant, very villous all over with soft hairs. Badical leaves petiolate, 

 obovate, deeply crenate, 1 to Ifin. long. Stenis short, decumbent, with a few 

 small almost sessile orbicular or obovate leaves. Peduncles axillary, rather 

 longer than the leaves, 1-flowered, without bracteoles. Flowers rather large, 

 yellow. Calyx hispid, the lobes narrow and acute. Corolla pubescent outside, 

 7 to 8 lines long. Dissepiment of the ovary reaching far above the middle. 

 Ovules numerous. Fruit not seen. 



Hab.: Near Cooper's Creek, Bowman. 



Although the specimens are not developed enough to fix the affinities of this plant, it appears 

 to be a very distinct species, differing from G. lanata in the absence of bra^teo es, from G. 

 cycloptern in the ovary. — Benth,
