"This plant is evidently allied to the genus Platylophus of South Africa, which it 
resembles in its lobed petals and 5-lobed disc, but it differs from that in its 15 short 
stamens in threes, glabrous ovary, and 2-ovuled loculi. From Gilbeea of Australia it 
differs in its fewer stamens, which are long in that genus, whilst it resembles it in the 
presence of two ovules in each loculus.
