GONIOMA (Greek, (jo)iia, angle, corner; the corona 

 cornered near the top). Aj>oeyndeeep. A monotypic 

 genus containing a South African shrub. John Saul, of 

 Washington, D. C, spoke of it as having racemes of 

 double white fls., borne on the point of every shoot, and 

 suggesting the Cape Jessamine by their form and fra- 

 grance. He probably had some other plant in mind, for. 

 according to DeCandollo, Gonioma has yellowish fls.. 

 only a third of an inch long, borne in cymes which are 

 shorter than the Ivs.. the Ivs. being P4-2 in. long. Saul 

 also advertised ^^ Taheri}ce7nontava Caniellievflora ploio 

 Glory of the Day," which may have been a variety of the 

 common Tc(herricemontana coronaria. Gonioma dif- 

 fers from Tabernaemontana in having the ovules ar- 

 ranged in 2 series instead of an indefinite number of 

 series, 



KamAssi, E. Mey. (Tal}en}a'}>iO)iti}i>a Ceimassi, Regel ).

GONIOPHLfiBIUM. A subgenus of Polypodium, with 



anastomitsiiii,^ \eiiis; by some regarded as a genus. For 



G. snhi' iirii-nlal mil , see Polypodium . 



GONI6PTEEIS (Greek, angled fern). Polypodielcea;. 

 A genus of tropical ferns allied to Phegopteris, with 

 naked rounded sori and the lower veinlets of contiguous 

 segments or lubes united. By some placed under Poly- 

 podium. 



crenata, Presl. Lvs. ]-2 ft, long, on stalks nearly as 

 long, with a leniiinal iiinna:' 0-8 in. lou^, often 2 in. wide, 

 and 4-8 similar laleral idnno?; margins bluntly lobed ; 

 sori near the main veins. Cuba and Mexico to Brazil.

GOODIA (after Peter Good, who 

 found the plant in N. S. Wales). Li - 

 giDninosiP. An Australian genus of 2 

 species of shruljs, with pea-like fls., 

 chiefly yelk)w, Iiut with reii markings. 

 Both specit's haA^e hnig been cult, in 

 a few conservatories abroad, but the 

 pubescent species is now forgotten 

 and the glabrous one, in America is 

 cult, chiefly in S. Calif, outdoors. Un- 

 der glass these shrubs are treated like 

 Cape heaths or Australian hard- 

 wooded plants. The genus has no 

 near allies of garden value. It be- 

 longs with 4 other Australian genera 

 to the sul.i-trilie Bossia?a, in which 

 the lvs. are mostly simple : stamens 

 coalesced into ashealh, which is s]ilit 

 above: seeds stro['biotate. From these 

 4 genera (b)odia differs in having; H 

 leaflets, and ils racemes terminal or 

 opposite the lvs. insiead of axillary. 



A. Schnltheis writes that Goodias 

 are occasionally seen in florists' win- 

 dows in America. Wm. Watson, of 

 Kew, says the fls. are very fragrant, 

 and remain on the plant a long time. 

 He adds (G.F. 2:244): "Probably this 

 plant, if taken in hand by the flor- 

 ists, would prove quite as useful for 

 spring flowering as the popular Cy- 

 iisns raceinnsns.''^ 



lotifolia, Salisb. Often misspelled 

 "latifolia," but the name means 

 "lotus-leaved." Glabrous shrub de- 

 scribed above. B.M. 958. J.H. HI. 

 29:484. — Likely to be confused with 

 Ar(iyrolobtnm Andrewsianutn, be- 

 longing to the Crotalaria subtribe, in 

 which the seeds are not strophiolate. 

 In Argyrolobium the 3 leaflets are 

 digitate and the stipules, bracts and 

 bractlets small but persistent. A. 

 Andrewsianum has sparsely silky 

 lvs. In Goodia the 3 leaflets are pin- 

 nately arranged, and 

 the stipules, bracts and 

 bractlets very evanes-
