904 LXVIl. GOODENOVIEJ:. [Goodenia. 



28. Cr. purpurascens (flowers purplish), R. Br. Prod 578 ;^ Benth. hi. 

 Austr. iv. 78. Glabrous, pubescent or the foliage almost woolly. Stock tufted ; 

 stems erect, 1 to 2ft. high. Radical leaves linear or lanceolate, attaining some- 

 times 6in. or more, entire or with a few remote teeth, the broader ones contracted 

 into a long petiole ; stem-leaves few and linear or none besides the small bracts. 

 Flowers small, of a purplish blue, usually numerous, in a loose panicle, the 

 primary racemose branches bearing loose, irregular, dichotomous cymes. Calyx- 

 tube very short ; lobes linear. . Corolla-tube adnate much higher up than the 

 calyx; lobes broadly winged, the 2 upper ones separated low down, and the 

 wings very unequal. Dissepiment of the ovary reaching to the summit or nearly 

 so. Capsule rarely 2 lines long. Seeds exceedingly numerous and small, flat, 

 with a wing-like margin of very variable breadth. — DC. Prod. vii. 515 ; De Vr. 

 Gooden. 153 ; F. v. M. Fragm. i. 117.

 Bay, Bmcmaii. 



29. G. gracilis (slender), R. Br. Prod. 575; Benth. Fl. Austr. iv. 79. A 

 perennial, glabrous or with more or less of wool about the stock. Radical leaves 

 petiolate, linear or linear-lanceolate, varying from 1 to 6 or Gin. long, usually 

 entire. Flowering stems always much longer than the radical leaves, and some- 

 times above 1ft. with very few, linear leaves. Panicle loose as in G. panicidaia 

 and G. purpurascens. Flowers yellow, and fruit entirely of G. paniculata. Seeds 

 very numerous, small, flat, smooth, and shining. — DC. Prod. vii. 513. 



Hab.: Broadsound, E. Brown; Roekhampton and Keppel Bay, Thozet. 



30. Cr. lamprosperma (seeds shining), F. v. M. Fragm. i. 116; Benth. Fl. 

 Austr. iv. 79. Very closely allied to G. gracilis, and perhaps a variety, more 

 rigid and very much branched, 1 to l^ft. high, with very few stem-leaves. 

 Radical leaves hnear or lanceolate, but thicker and more rigid than in G. gracilis, 

 prominently veined, often rather broader and occasionally toothed. Flowers 

 smaller than in some specimens of G. gracilis, but quite like those of other 

 specimens, and in other respects quite the same, as well as the capsule and seeds.

31. G. pumiliO (small), R. Br. Prod. 579; Benth. Fl. Austr. iv. ,80. A 

 small, shortly creeping or stoloniferous perennial, hoary with an irregularly 

 stellate pubescence. Leaves in rosulate tufts, petiolate, ovate or orbicular, 

 obtuse, entire, 1 to 3 lines long. Peduncles numerous in the tufts, slender ^ to 

 fin. long, each with a single, small flower, without bracteoles. Calyx not above 

 1 line long at the time of flowering, the lobes short. Corolla only seen in bud, 

 and then the 2 upper lobes rather larger than the others. Anthers ovate. 

 Ovary almost completely 2-celled ; ovules in about 4 rows in each cell. Capsule 

 oblong or ovoid-oblong, 1^ to nearly 2 lines long. Seeds small, orbicular, flat, 

 not winged. — DC. Prod. vii. 516.

4. CALOGYNE, R. Br. 



(Alluding to the beauty of the indusium.) 



(Distylis, Gaudieh.) 



Calyx, corolla, stamens, ovary, capsule, and seeds of Goodenia. Style deeply 



divided into 2 incurved and connivent branches, each with a dimidiate indusium 



open on the inner edge, and enclosing a half-stigmate, with sometimes a third
