I'his genus (hould be inferted between Scsevola and 
Cinchona in the Linnxan fyltem, and between Cyphia 
and Scasvola in that of Julfieu. It differs efl'entiaily 
from Scicvola in its fruit; from Cyphia in its corolla; 
and from Lobelia in its Itamens. Dr. Smiili has given 
this new and moll dillinct genus the name of Goodmia, 
in honour of his worriiy friend tlie Rev.Dr. Goodenough. 
In tlie conffruci'ion of this name he has followed the ex¬ 
ample ot Tournefort, in ioxwww'gGunddia tromGundelf- 
ciieimer. Dr. Goodenough’s name miglit however have 
been fofteiied into Goodaioida, without being eith.er too 
long, or offending a delicate ear. Thefe plants are all 
natives of New South Wales, about Port Jackfon. See 
Linn, d'rani. ii. 34.6—349.
