Members of these two families will be familiar to anyone who has walked into the Australian bush. The usually yellow or blue showy flowers of Goodenia, Scaevola, Dampiera, and the spectacular Lechenaultia are now frequently found in gardens, along with their less familiar relatives. The biology and anatomy of the flowers, including their unusual pollination mechanism, are described, as well as the diverse species making up these distinctly Australian families.
