Hooker in the order Saxifragese, and in his Handbook hespeaks of it* as the only representative in New Zealand of the herbaceoustribe of Saxifi-ages proper. Up to within a very recent period, however,its exact systematic position was matter of considerable uncertainty. Afew years ago, Baron Ferd. von Mueller expressed his decided opinionfthat its resemblances were so near those of Phyllachne, that it should beplaced along with that genus among the Stylidiere, and this opinion heagain published in Trimens Journal of Botany for 1878, p. 174. Inthe absence of fruit, however, this affinity could not be considered as finallyestablished. Mr. Petrie, Inspector of Schools
