This interesting plant has so far been found only in one 
spot, in sandstone barrens on the high prairies, four miles 
north of Alba. In connection with his description of it? Mr. 
Kenneth K. Mackenzie says: 
“This plant is probably to be referred to the family 
Aizoaceae, or as treated in the Synoptical Flora I: 256 the 
Ficoideae, and to the tribe Aizoideae of that family. In many 
respects it seems to come closer to the genus Cypselea than to 
any other North American genus. It differs markedly in the 
absence of stipules and style and in the eapsule not being 
circumscissile, The other genera of the tribe in question, 
found in this country, are succulent plants with circumscissile 
capsules and cornute calyx-lobes. 
«The tribe Mollugineae of the same family characterized 
by a calyx divided nearly or quite to the base, and represented 
in the United States by two genera having 3-celled ovaries, 
is less closely related to our plant. Nor can our plant be 
considered an apetalous representative of the Alsinaceae, as 
the sepals in that family are distinct or very nearly so. It 
seems in fact to represent a well-characterized genus."'
