GOODENIA, in Botany, fo named by the writer of the 

 prefent article in honour of the Right Rev. Samuel Good- 

 enough, lord biihop of Carlifle, F. R.S. and a vice-prelident 

 of the Linnaean Society, author of a moft valuable paper on 

 Britiih Car'ices, in the fecond volume of the Linn. Society's 

 Tranfadtions, and of one on Britifh Fuci, in conjunction 

 with Mr. Woodward, in the third. The name was con- 

 ftruc'ted after the example of Tournefort, who, as he tells 

 us, not without m\ich confideration, contrived to form Cun- 

 delia out of Gundelfcheimer. It did not occur to us at the 

 time that Gooilenovia might have come nearer to the original, 

 and have been equally unexceptionable. It is now too late 

 to make any fuch alteration. Linnxus named Richardia 

 after Dr. Richard/on, Stil/ingia after Mr. Stillingjleet, and 

 thefe are fufScient precedents. Sm. Tr. of Linn. Soc. v. 2.

Gen. Ch. Cal. Perianth fuperior, of five, nearly equal, 

 linear leaves, permanent. Cor. of one petal, much longer 

 than the calyx, irregular; tube flit from ttp to bottom at 

 the back; limb of five deep, firm, lanceolate fegments, 

 with thin dilated longitudinal borders, turned moil to one 

 fide, forming one lip, or generally two. Stam, Filaments 

 five, fliorter than the tube, often projedling through its 

 fiffure, capillary, equal; anthers vertical, oblong, of two 

 lobes. Pijl- Germen inferior, oblong, crowned with the 

 calyx -leaves, which run down its fides and form ribs ; ftyle 

 taper at the bafe, fwelling upwards, undivided, nearly as 

 long as the tube ; ftigma large, firm, obtufe, enveloped 

 with a cup-lliaped cover, more or lefs two-lipped, its mar- 

 gin fringed with denfe upright hairs. Perk. Capiule oblong 

 or elliptical, of two valves feparating at the top, and two 

 (rarely four) cells, the partition flat, parallel to the valves. 

 Seeds numerous, imbricated, compreffed. 



Eff. Ch. Corolla of one petal, flit longitudinally at the 

 back ; limb in five deep fegments turned one way. Anthers 

 feparate, beardlefs. Stigma with a cup-fhaped fringed in- 

 tegument. Capfule inferior, of two or four cells, w;th a 

 parallel partition. Seeds numerous, imbricated. 



Obf. Mr. Brown has remarked, in fome fpecies, a fmall 

 bag of honey attached to the germen, oppofite to the fiffure 

 in the corolla. 



Eight fpecies of this very curious genus were originally 

 defined in the Linnxan Society's Tranfadions, tlu-ec of 

 which, having been defcribed without a knowledge of their 

 fruit, are now, on more full examination, removed by Ca- 

 vanilles and Brown to other genera. Thefe are the alhida, 

 flriaa, and ramojijjlma ; the latter, which, like the albida, is 

 a Sctvola, may be feen in Sm. Bot. of N. Hull. t. 5. The 

 Jlr'iBa belongs to Mr.. Brown's Dampiera. But on the other

Iiand tlie difcoverics of this indefatigable colleaor and aeca. 

 rate botanitt have increafcd Goodenia to 32 fpecies, all 

 natives of New Holland or of Van Diemen's land. Of 

 thefe the firil 28 have a two-lipped corolla, and the firll 

 24 of them have yellow flowers, the reft blue or piirpU-. 

 Of the remaining four, two liave a finple-lipped corolla, 

 and the sthers are doubtful in this refpcct, it being doubt- 

 ful whether thefe laft properly belong to the genus. One 

 of them is Selliera radicans ; Cavan. Ic. t. 474. f 2. Goode- 

 nia repeat ; Billard. Nov. Holl. t. 76. 

 Satisfaftory examples of the genus arc, 

 G. paniculata. Sm. n. 2. Cavan. Ic. t. 507. This has yei- 

 low Jioiuers in terminal panicles. Leavtt moilly radical, 

 ilrongly toothed. Herbage hair)-. 



G. ovata. Sm.n. 1. Cav. Ic. t 506. Andr. Repof. t. 68. 

 The firll fpecies that flowered in England, and from which 

 the genus was defcribed. This has rather (hruhby Jhnu, 

 ovate neatly fcrrated finooth leaves, and axillary forked 

 ftalks, bearing elegant yellow Jlozirrs. It is a dcfirabh- 

 ornament for a greenhoufe, and not difficult of culture. 



G. grandijlora. Sims in Curt. Mag. t. 890. Differs from 

 the lalt in being downy, with lyrate leaves and hiecrj!<,'u.<ert, 

 whofe tube is Iplit into four fegments, and fingularly rough 

 or bearded within. 



G.elongata. Billard. Nov. HoU. t. 75. Is a very fleiidcr 

 fpecies, with long fimple flowcr-llalks deftitute of bracteas. 

 GOODENOVIyE, a natural order of plants recently 

 eilabliihcd by Mr. Brown, Prodr. Nov. Holl. v. 1. 573^ 

 being feparated by him from the Campanulacet of Jullicu^ 

 and effentially dillinguilhed by a peculiar cup-lhaped inte- 

 gument, cither undivided or two-lobcd, which contains the 

 iligma, and has hitherto been defcribed by botauifts as the 

 lligma itfelf. See Campasulacejb. 



Mr. Brown defcribes his new order at follows: 

 Calyx tuperior or half fuperior, rarely inferior, five-clefr, 

 fometimes in five or three deep divifions, fometimes ftiort, 

 undivided, and occafionally obfoletc; its fegments equal, 

 rarely unequal, pcriivmcnt. 



Corolla of one petal, more or lefs irregular, deciduous or 

 withering. Tube fplit longitudinally, fometimes feparable 

 into five portions, while the calyx is merely attached to the 

 bafe of the germen. Limb in five det- p fegments, compo- 

 iing one lip or two, tl'.eir diik lanceolate, fl.it, their fides, 

 or wingj, of a thinner texture, elevated, folded inwards 

 when young, rarely obfolete or deficient. 



Stamens five, unconnecled with either corolla or iK-le^ 

 and alternate with the divifions of the former. Filaments 

 dillinct. Anthers either feparate or cohering, linear, ver- 

 tical, attached by their bafe, undivided, two-cclkd, the 

 cells opening lengthwile. Pollen fimple, rari'Iy compound. 

 GcTniiK ot two or four cells, rarely of one only ;; the rudi- 

 ments of the feeds cither indefinite or definite, ereft; fome- 

 times bearing a ghvnd between the two antepor filaments. 

 Style one, fimple, very rarely divided. Stigma iVlhy, ob- 

 tufe, either undivided or two-lobed. rncomp.iff«d from be- 

 neath with a fomewhat membranous, cup-(hapcd, cmir<- or 

 two-lobed integument, the great peculiarity of the order. 



Pericarp, wlien the number of the fecd.^ is indefinite, a cap- 

 fule of two cells, i-arciy four, or fometimes, from the (hort- 

 nefs of the partition, of fcarcely morr than one Partition 

 moilly parallel, rarely contrary, to the valves, which arc 

 either luidivided or cloven, bearing the feeds on it* midrib. 

 WTien the number of thf lced« i* defiriite, one being in each 

 celH.the pericarp is a drupa or a nut, rarely an ■jlri:uliis {or 

 membranous undividing capfuie;, beari.ng the l-.-ed from its 

 bafe.
