Panax. — In Engler and Pranti’s Pflanzenfamilien the 
whole of the New Zealand species are placed in Miquel’s genus 
Nothopanax, a course indicated by Seemann as far back as 
1866. But there is much confusion and no small diversity of 
opinion regarding the classification of the order, and most o 
the genera require careful re-examination. Until this has been 
done it seems inadvisable to alter the position of our species.
