Goodenia (Bishop Samuel Goodenough, England, 1743-1827, who wrote on Carex). Goodeniaceae (sometimes written Goodenovieae). The family Goodeniaceae is allied to the Campanulaceae, differing in never having milky juice, the style surrounded by an indusium or cup-shaped or two-lipped expansion, the cells of the ovary mostly more in number, and other technical characters. There are a dozen genera of herbs and shrubs and probably 300 species, mostly Australian. Probably none of them is in regular cultivation, although Goodenia and Scaevola are sometimes mentioned in horticultural literature. About 100 species of Goodenia occur in Australia: calyx-tube adnate to the ovary, the lobes free or adnate at the base; style undivided: caps, with 2 or rarely 4 valves: herbs, subshrubs, or shrubs, with yellow, purplish or blue fls. The species most likely to be met with in horticultural literature are: G. grandiflora, Sims. Erect herb, with large yellow fls. more or less streaked purple, linear calyx-lobes, and broadly ovate or ovate-4anceolate toothed lvs. that sometimes have small lobes along the petiole. B.M. 890. B.R. 31:29. G. macmillanii, F. Muell., very like the last but with purple fls. and lyrate lvs. H. F.II. 4:240. G. stelligera, R. Br. Perennial herb: st. 12-18 in., almost leafless: radical lvs. linear or nearly so, entire, 3—6 in. long: fls. yellow, nearly or quite sessile, in a long interrupted spike. G. ovata, Smith. Glabrous or viscid shrub or sub- shrub, to 4 ft.: lvs. lanceolate to ovate or nearly orbicular, denticulate: fls. yellow, the corolla about ½ m. long. L. H. B.
