This genus is the representative of the very small Natural 
Order Brunoniace®, allied to the Scabious tribe, to Globula- 
riacez, to the Campanula tribe, and to other Monopetalous 
orders. An account of it is given in the Introduction to the 
Natural System of Botany, whither the reader is referred 
for information concerning its place in the system, and the 
nature of its affinities.
