lxxxix. and xc. A small tree with a somewhat rough bark ; branches nearly terete, 
more or less clothed with a thin grey tomentum, the young growth almost 
strigose. Leaves narrow-lanceolate or elongate-spathulate, 3 to 7in. long, 
seldom exceeding fin. broad, tapering at the base, but scarcely forming a distinct 
petiole, of a greyish-colour ; the upper side glossy, silky-hairy when young, 
minutely punctate, underside pale from a thin scurfiness ; primary lateral nerves 
numerous, erecto-patent, the lowermost ones sometimes looping within the 
margin ; margins entire or sometimes the longer leaves showing a few distant 
indentations in the upper portion, apex ending in a small dark gland (leaves on> 
adventitious shoots from the trunk longer and narrower than the others). 
Racemes near the ends of the branclilets, almost sessile, seldom much exceeding 
lin. ; flowers very dense, of a spicy fragrance. Pedicels slender, about 3-lines 
long, silky-hairy as well as the rhachis. Perianth long as the pedicel, silky-hairy 
outside, the inside with long white hairs, except at the base, where the tube is 
glabrous; opening to near the base, and very revolute. Gland semi-annular. 
Ovary on a stipes of about 1 line, which is glabrous, as well as the ovary and 
style; the latter much curved, about 7 lines long. Stigmatic disk oblique, oval, 
convex. Fruit ovate-oblong, mucronate from the persistent base of the style, 
nearly lin. long, Jin. broad, valves woody. Seeds 2, greyish-brown, surrounded 
by a narrow-wing, about 10 lines long, 5 lines broad, including the wing.

7. G. Goodii (after Peter Good), B. Br. in Trans. Linn. Soc. x. 174, Prod • 
379; Benth. FI. Austr. v. 446. Stems prostrate, diffuse (or sometimes erect?), 
the young branches minutely tomentose. Leaves petiolate, oval-elliptical to 
oblong-lanceolate, obtuse, rounded or cuneate at the base, 3 to Sin. long, glabrous 
or the under surface minutely silky, of a pale colour, penniveined with numerous 
primary veins uniting in an intramarginal nerve and minor reticulations con- 
spicuous on both sides. Racemes terminal, solitary or 2 or 3 together, pedunculate, 
secund, the rhachis 1 J to 2in. long. Pedicels 2 to 3 lines long, minutely tomen- 
tose as well as the rhachis. Perianth 6 to 8 lines long, nearly glabrous outside, 
bearded inside with reflexed hairs, the tube obliquely dilated at the base, attenuate 
above the middle and revolute under the obliquely globular depressed limb. Torus 
very oblique, linear, about 3 lines long. Gland horseshoe-shaped, slightly 
prominent. Ovary villous with long hairs, stipitate on the upper margin of the 
torus ; style very long, more or less ciliate ; stigmatic disk broad, lateral. — Meissn.

8. G. venusta (graceful), B. Br. in Trans. Linn. Soc. x. 175, rind. 379; 
Benth. FI. Austr. v. 446. A tall shrub or small tree, the young branches and 
inflorescence ferruginous-tomentose. Leaves simple or deeply pinnatifid, with 3 to 
7 long narrow-lanceolate lobes, the whole leaf 4 to 8in. long, glabrous and penni- 
veined with numerous oblique parallel veins not very close, often confluent in an 
intramarginal nerve, minutely silky-tomentose underneath with the ferruginous 
veins. Racemes terminal, rather loose and short Perianth sprinkled with
