The slight resemblance to a young stage of Bartlettia (Senecionideae) 

 is of no importance, since this plant hat female ray florets and differs 

 in the pappus and unstalked achenes. Among the Asterae-Solidaginae 

 the genus shews a certain degree of relationship to Lessingia, but the 

 florets are all alike, the outer ones not being more deeply slit on the 

 outside. The general habits and leaves are like those of Achnophora 

 tatet F. v. M., which would bring the plant between Calotis (Asterae- 

 Asterinae) and Brachycome (Asterae-Bellidinae). The plant differs, however, 

 in the pappus, stalked achenes, and absence of ray florets, and among 

 the Asterae-Bellidinae only one species of Greenella has homogamous heads. 

 The general characters agree best with the Asterae-Asterinae, although 

 the genus shewn also approaches to te Solidagineae and Bellidinae sec- 

 tions, and also through the bracts to the Anthemideae.
