There is no doubt that Hooker and Eeichardt have described the same plant ; but 

 from the very imperfect specimens in Kew Herbarium, we are unable to decide whether it 

 be a Colobanthus or a Sagina. Eeichardt seems to have had better specimens, and he 

 describes petals, which no true Colobanthus possesses, we believe. On the other hand, 

 the valves of the capsule are described in the Flora Antarctica as opposite the perianth 

 segments — a character of Colobanthus.
