158 THE AUSTRALIAN NATURALIST. 
translation from Prof. H. Krause’s Monograph of the 
Goodeniaceae, written for Prof. A. Engler’s “Pflanzen- 
reich,’ and published in 1912. I have transcribed the Key 
in the method rendered familiar to us by the Handbook, 
and have added two species—Goodenia Stephensom, F. v. 
M., and G. glomerata, Maiden and Betche, omitted by 
Krause. 
The genus Brunonia is separated by Krause from the 
Goodeniaceae and placed by itself in a small new family, 
the Brunoniacez. In the genus Goodenia Krause abolishes 
Bentham’s series Bracteolate, and divides its species into 
two new series, the Rosulatz and Suffruticose, an obvious 
improvement, but with the slight drawback that his new 
under-section Bracteolate contains one or two species with 
sessile flowers, and, therefore, without bracteoles (G. belli- 
difolia). Two new species of Goodenia are described by 
Krause, G. Boormanti and G. glabriflora; the former is 
common in the Western plains and ranges of New South 
Wales, and is frequently confused with G. geniculata and 
hederacea, the latter a rare plant recorded only from Denili- 
quin. : 
Scaevola hispida is changed into S. ramosissima 
(Sm.), Krause. I always regret to have to drop an old, 
long-tised name, but we have to follow the international 
rules of nomenclature, and these direct that the first specific 
name under which a species is described must be preserved 
if that species is transferred to another genus. The plant 
in question was described by Smith in 1793 as Goodenia 
ramosissima, and in 1801 as Scaveola hispida, Cav. 
Dampiera Maideniana, Krause, seems to be hardly a 
good well-defined species, it comes very near to forms of 
D. Brownii, the localities given are, “West of Wellington 
Valley’ and “near Murrumba.”
