This genus is the representative of the very small Natural 

 Order Brunoniacese, allied to the Scabious tribe, to Globula- 

 riaceee, to the Campanula tribe, and to other Monopetalous

 Natural System of Botany, whither the reader is referred 

 for information concerning its place in the system, and the 

 nature of its affinities.
