NOTES ON THE METHODS OF FERTILISATION OF 
THE GOODENIACEjE. 
Part II.

(Plate xxiv.) 
The interesting genus Dampiera is entirely Australian, and is 
remarkably distinct and easily determined. 
The calyx-tube is adnate to the ovulary, which is in nearly 
every case 1 -celled. The corolla-tube is deeply slit; the two upper 
lobes stand well above the lower three, and are closely pressed 
together, the posterior margins folding in between the lobes, and 
forming a cavity or auricle which encloses the style and indusium, 
and which is of various degrees of complexity in different species. 
The auricle may be taken as characteristic of the genus, for 
although it is found in Goodenia, Velleya, and Anthotium, yet in 
its highest development in those genera, it does not approach the 
simplest form in Dampiera as regards completeness of structure. 
The anterior margins of the upper lobe also fold under into the 
tube of the corolla, projecting in such a manner as to cause the 
auricles to separate when an insect forces its way into the tube. 
The three lower lobes are spreading and usually broadly winged; 
at their base the wings are narrower and puckered up by the close 
approach of the lobes, forming guiding lines to the nectar. The 
throat is always glabrous and free from hairs. The anthers are 
connate round the style, although in very young buds they are 
sometimes free, but the growth of the anthers locks them together 
later on. The style is always glabrous, and often deeply coloured; 
the indusium is never hairy on the outside as in every other genus 
except Brunonia (and even in this there are hairs in the early
