This curious plant is one of those instances of which the Australian flora 
like that of tropical Africa, has afforded several, of mono typic ot ities 
necting as it were large groups —suborders or even rs— whi other

of the Linderniew, a tribe of Antirrhinide, where F. 
Mueller had originally placed it, but the form texture and estivation of Rory
