Goodenovieae
A natural order of herbs, sub-shrubs, or rarely shrubs, the juice not milky. Flowers hermaphrodite, axillary or in terminal spikes, racemes, or panicles, the primary inflorescence centripetal, the secondary usually cymose and dichotomous; corolla yellow, blue, or white, rarely red or purple. Leaves alternate or radical, very rarely irregularly opposite, entire, toothed, or rarely pinnatifid. The order is almost exclusively Australian, a few species only of one genus (Scaevola) being known from New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, and the coasts of tropical and sub-tropical Africa, Asia, and America; and one of another genus (Calogyne), perhaps not different from an Australian one, extending to the coast of China. There are about twelve genera and two hundred species. Good examples are: Dampiera, Goodenia, Leschenaultia, Scaevola, and Velleia.
