Leschenualtia (named for L. T. Lechenault, botanical traveler in the far E.). Written also Lechenaullia. Goodeniaceae. About 20 species as understood by the latest monographer (Krause, in Engler's Pflanzenreich, hft. 54, 1912) of herbs and heath-like shrubs of Austral., sometimes grown under glass: glabrous or rarely hirsute: leaves heath-like, scattered or crowded, narrow and entire: flowers yellow, red, violet or greenish, solitary or corymbed, showy, with a slender tube and large limb; calyx-tube adnate to ovary, the lobes 5 and linear or lanceolate; corolla oblique, the tube usually slit to the base, on the back, the lobes connivent or spreading; anthers mostly cohering around the style; indusium (or dilated top of style) 2-lipped with a partial ring of hairs outside: caps, linear, 4-valved, dehiscent. — The leschenaultias require special care in watering, and an open soil with plenty of fiber and sand. They are very handsome hardwooded plants for greenhouse growing, but seldom seen in this country.
L. biloba, Lindl. Shrub, 1-3 ft.: leaves not greatly crowded, about 1/4 or 1/3 in. long: flowers blue and handsome, the corolla about 3/4 in. long, either few on the shoot or corymbed; lobes of corolla longer than tube, spreading, with dark blue veined wings and a point or mucro between. W. Austral. — L. formosa, R. Br. (L. multiflora, Lodd. L. Baxteri, Don). Spreading and much branched, 1-2 ft.: leaves rather loosely scattered, 1/3 in- or less long: flowers solitary, red; corolla-tube split to base, 5 linos or less long; corolla somewhat bilabiate, the upper lobes broad and rounded, erect and connivent and shorter than the large and spreading lower ones. W. Austral. — L. grandiflora, Lindl., is a large-fld. form of L. biloba. — L. laricina, Lindl. (L. splendens. Hook.). Much branched, erect, 1 ft.: leaves fine, rather crowded : flowers, white to lilac to red, sessile in upper axils; tube of corolla 1/2 in. long, slit to base; lobes of corolla all similar, usually shorter than the tube. W. Austral.
