The name is from the Greek. Many plants of this genus 

 are hardy, and look gay in the garden ; a few require the 

 shelter of the greenhouse, and make a show in the sum- 

 mer : as Australis (or Candotteanus) , with red flowers ; albi- 

 dus, with white; these are Australian species; jacobceus and 

 atropurpureus, with dark purple flowers, from the Cape de 

 Yerde Islands; Creticus, from the Levant, glaucus, from 

 Madeira, sessilifolius, from the Canaries, and anthylloides, 

 from the Cape, all have yellow flowers. These are shrubs, 

 and may be increased by cuttings. 



GOODIA. 



Gen. Char. {BiadelpMa Becandria.) Calyx with two nearly 

 equal lips, upper half bifid, acute ; standard unfurled and large ; 

 stamens all united ; pod stalked, compressed, about two-seeded. 



Named after Mr. Good, a gardener at Kew Gardens, who 

 died whilst collecting seeds in New Holland. Handsome 

 evergreen shrubs; polysperma, subpubescens, latifolia, and 

 pnbescens 9 are from Yan Diemen's Land ; all these have yel- 

 low flowers, and are worthy of a place in the greenhouse.
