A genus comprising upwards of 150 species, dispersed over the temperate and cold 
regions of both hemispheres, though not numerotis in America, and rare in the 
mountains of the tropics. The small flora of New Zealand numbers about forty, chiefly 
shrubby, species of this genus. It is one of the very few perfectly natural genera that 
include slender annual species from an inch or two high, robust perennial herbaceous 
species, shrubby species, and even arboreous species ; for one or two of the New-Zealand 
species attain the dimensions of small trees. :
