Goodeniaceæ, an order of corollifloral dicotyledons, closely allied to Campanulaceæ and Lobeliaceæ. The 200 species, the great part herbs, are mostly natives of the Australian and South African regions. Goodenia ovata is a pretty yellow-flowered shrub of Australia. Seavola Taceuda is a shrub from the pith of which the Malays make a kind of rice-paper. The young leaves are eaten as a salad.
