Austr. t. 13 ; Bot. Beg. t. 1423 ; H. villosa, Lindl. in Bot. Beg. t. 1512 ; H. pannosa, A. Cunn. in 
Bot. Mag. t. 3053 ; H. lanigera, Lodd. in Steud. Nom. Bot- ed. 2 ; H. ramulosa, A. Cunn. in Bot. 
Beg., under n. 4 (a narrow-leaved form connecting it with the normal variety). — Benth. Palmer 
Biver in the north, and Helidon and other localities in the south. 
5. H. longipes (stipes long), Benth. in Huey. Emm. 37, and FI. Austr. ii. 
174. A tall shrub or small tree resembling at first sight some forms of H. lonyi- 
folia, but readily distinguished by the venation of the leaf as well as by the flower 
and fruit. Branches, under side of the leaves and calyxes hoary or slightly rusty, 
with a close or soft tomentum. Leaves from oval-elliptical to oblong or lanceo- 
late, obtuse with a minute callous point, f to lfin. long, coriaceous with slightly 
recurved margins, glabrous above and marked with numerous oblique parallel 
slightly reticulate primary veins. Flowers usually 2 or 3 together, each on a 
pedicel longer than the calyx, with 2 minute bracteoles near the end. Calyx very 
broadly campanulate, scarcely 2 lines long, the lobes or teeth all very short, the 
upper lip broad and truncate, but scarcely exceeding the lower lobes. Standard 
very broad, twice as long as the calyx. Ovary quite glabrous. Pod 4 or 5 lines 
broad and long, very coriaceous, quite glabrous, on a stipes from the length of the 
calyx to twice as long. — H. leiocarpa, Benth. Mitch. Trop. Austr. 289. 
Hab.: Bockingham Bay ; Keppel Bay, R. Brown ; dry forest and sheltered valleys, Mantuan 
Downs and Maranoa Biver, Mitchell; Burdekin Biver, F. v. Mueller; edge of the scrub, near 
Bockhampton, Thozet ; Fitzroy Biver, Bowman. 
Wood a dark-yellow and of pretty figure, close-grained, and very hard ; should be useful in 
turnery. — Bailey’s Cat. Ql. Woods No. 115a. 
21. GOODIA, Salisb. 
(After Dr. Mason Good.) 
Calyx, 2 upper lobes united in a 2-toothed upper lip, 3 lower ones equal. Petals 
clawed ; standard orbicular ; wings narrow ; keel broader, incurved, obtuse. 
Stamens all united in a sheath open on the upper side ; anthers all versatile, 
alternately smaller. Disk annular between the stamens and ovary. Ovary 
stipitate, with 2 to 4 ovules ; style subulate, incurved ; stigma small, terminal. 
Pod stipitate, flat, valves thin with a nerviform edge. Seeds strophiolate. — 
Shrubs. Leaves pinnately 3-foliolate, with entire leaflets. Flowers yellow mixed 
with purple, in terminal or leaf-opposed racemes. Stipules, bracts and bracteoles 
membranous, but so deciduous as to he rarely seen but in very young branches 
or racemes. 
The genus is limited to Australia , and although nearly allied to Bossiaa in its flowers and 
fruit, has the inflorescence of Crotalaria, and differs from all other Genistea; in its pinnately 
trifoliolate leaves. It would therefore be equally well placed under Galegece.— Benth. 
G. (1) polysperma, DC. Prod. ii. 117, is Argyrolobium Andrewsianum, Steud., a South African, 
not an Australian plant. 
G. retusa, Mackay, and G. suhpubescens, Sweet, in Steud. Nom. Bot. ed. 2, are unpublished 
garden names, probably of some varieties of G. lotifolia. — Benth. 
1. Gr. lotifolia (Lotus-leaved), Salisb. Parad. Loud. t. 41 ; Benth. FI. Austr. 
ii. 177. A tall much-branched shrub, either quite glabrous or the young shoots 
minutely pubescent and often glaucous. Leaflets ovate or obovate, very obtuse, 
x to fin. long, the lateral ones usually at a considerable distance from the terminal 
one, the petiole slender. Racemes loose, many-flowered, 2 to 4in. long. Calyx 
21 to 3 lines long, the lower lobes linear-lanceolate, nearly as long as the tube, 
the upper lip very broad, more or less 2-toothed at the top. Standard about twice 
as long as the calyx, notched, yellow with a purple base ; lower petals rather 
shorter. Pod varying from f to nearly lin. long and 3 to 4 lines broad, on a 
stipes much longer than the calyx, the upper suture often dilated, the valves thin
