'''''Goodia''''' is a [[genus]] in the pea family, [[Fabaceae]]. {{Inc| Goodia (after Peter Good, who found the plant in New South Wales). Leguminosae. Australian shrubs, with pea-like flowers. There are 2 goodias; both species have long been cult, in a few conservatories abroad, but the pubescent species is now forgotten and the glabrous one, in Amer. is cult, chiefly in S. Calif, outdoors. Under glass these shrubs are treated like Cape heaths or Australian hard- wooded plants. It has no near allies of garden value. It belongs with 4 other Australian genera to sub- tribe Bossiaea, in which the lvs. are mostly simple: stamens coalesced into a sheath, which is split above: seeds strophiolate. From these 4 genera Goodia differs in having 3 pinnate lfts. and its racemes terminal or opposite the lvs. instead of axillary. A. Schultheis writes that goodias are occasionally seen in florists' windows in America. Wm. Watson, of Kew, says the flowers are very fragrant, and remain on the plant a long time. He adds (G.F. 2:244): "Probably this plant, if taken in hand by the florists, would prove quite as useful for spring flowering as the popular Cytisus racemosus." {{SCH}} }} ==Cultivation== {{edit-cult}}<!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Propagation=== {{edit-prop}}<!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Pests and diseases=== {{edit-pests}}<!--- Type pest/disease info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ==Species== The genus consists of two species, both native to [[Australia]]: *''[[Goodia lotifolia]]'' Salisb. - Golden Tip *''[[Goodia medicaginea]]'' F.Muell. - Western Golden-tip ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}}<!-- remove this line if there are already 3 or more photos in the gallery --> <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
