Calogyne.] LXVII. GOODENOVlE^. 90S 



intermediate shorter branch, with a straight indusium open on both edges, and 

 enclosing the central portion of the stigmate. — Erect or diffuse annuals. Leaves 

 alternate. Peduncles axillary, without bracteoles. Flowers yellow. 



Besides the 2 Australian species, another has been published from the coasts of China. It is, 

 however, so near to the C. pilosa that it may, perhaps, prove to be a variety only. The genus 

 is very closely allied to Goodenia, with a precisely similar habit, differing in the single character 

 of the divided style. — Benth. 



Plant J to 1ft. high. Style 3-branched. Dissepiment exceedingly short, 

 almost rudimentary. Corolla about 3 lines long . ..:.... 1. C pilosa. 



Plant about IJin. high. Style 3-branched. Dissepiment exceedingly short. 

 Corolla about 3 lines long, almost unilabiate 2. C heteroptira. 



1. C. pilosa (pilose), B. Br. Prod. 579; Benth. Fl. Austr. iv. 81. An 

 erect or branching and diffuse more or less hispid annual of J to 1ft. 

 Leaves sessile or the lower ones petiolate, the upper ones often stem-clasping, 

 lanceolate or almost linear, 1 to 2in. long, marked with a few distant teeth, and 

 the floral ones usually with 1 or 2 lobes on each side at the base. Calyx-lobes 

 lanceolate, leafy, hirsute. Corolla slightly hispid outside, scarcely |-in. long, the 

 tube shortly closed above the ovary, the upper lobes separated very low, unequally 

 winged, with an inflexed concave auricle, lower lobes equally winged. Anthers 

 mucronate-acuminate. Style with 2 branches, and a third shorter intervening 

 one. Ovary almost completely 1-celled, the very short dissepiment dividing the 

 cavity into two, as in Goodenia, but sometimes almost rudimentary. Ovules 

 about 6. Capsule nearly globular, 2 to 3 lines diameter. Seeds oval, flat, with 

 a rather broad, thick border. — DC. Prod. vii. 517 ; De Vr. Gooden. 180, partly ; 

 Goodenia dubia, Spreng. Syst. i. 721. 



Hab.; Islands of the Gulf of Carpentaria, E. Brown; Kocklngbam Bay, Dallachy. 



C. chinensis, Hance, from the coasts of China, is closely allied to this species, and may prove 

 to be a variety only. In outward aspect Calogyne pilosa much resembles some specimens of 

 Goodenia hispida. 



2. C. heteroptera (wings various), F. v. M. Fragm. x. 43. Plant small, 

 almost stemless, sparsely pilose, the long hairs rigid and glandular, the shorter 

 hairs crisped and glandular. Leaves flat, 4 to 12 lines long, broad-lanceolate, or 

 the lower ones ovate, narrowed to the petiole, entire, or a little denticulate. 

 Pedicels sometimes shorter than the calyx. Calyx-lobes 1 to 1^ line long, 

 narrow-lanceolate, of equal length or longer than the tube. Corolla 3 lines long, 

 yellow, the upper lobes very short and unequally winged and broadly auriculate, 

 the lower lobes equal, wings somewhat broad, outside slightly puberulous. 

 Anther very minute, mucronulate. Style 3-partite, slightly puberulous. Capsule 

 scarcely 2 lines long. Septum very short. Seeds flat, about 8. 



Hab.: Newcastle Bange, W- E. Armit. 



5. CATOSPERMA, Benth. 

 (Seeds suspended from top of cell.) 



Calyx-tube adnate; lobes 5, free. Corolla-tube slit on the upper side to the 

 ovary, the limb of' 5 nearly equal lobes, at length digitately spreading, the 

 margins shortly winged. Stamens free. Ovary wholly inferior, 2-celled, with 

 2 ovules in each cell suspended from the top. Indusium cup-shaped, enclosing 

 the short stigma, minutely ciliate. (Drupe 10-ribbed, 4-seeded, the cells 

 imperfectly 2-looellate, F. v. M.) — Glabrous herb. Leaves toothed. Flowers 

 yellow, in axillary pedunculate cymes. 



The genus is limited to a single species, endemic in Australia, with the flowers of some species 

 qf Goodenia or of Sctevola, but differing remarkably from the whole Order in the insertion of 

 the ovules. — Benth.
