I overlooked the fact that this generic name, having been preoccupied, has been replaced by Ochotzia, Walpers.

- In the present state of the Umbellifere as regards systematic arrangement, it is impossible to define most of 
the European and Asiatic genera, and until the limits of these are better settled, the few Australian members 
of the Order cannot be definitely classified. My generic name Anisotome was anticipated by Anisofoma, Fenzl 
(Linnzea, xvii. 330), a genus of Asclepiadee. 1 have somewhat reluctantly followed Mueller in restoring Forster’s name 
of Gingidium, a name of Dioscorides and Pliny, not only because it was originally applied to a totally different plant 
of the northern hemisphere, but because Forster's description and figure of the fruit of the New Zealand Gingidium 
montanum (Anisotome Gingidium, Fl. N. Zeal. i. 89) is so totally unlike any plant of the Order, that it was only after 
inspecting Forster's specimens when preparing the New Zealand Flora, that 1 found his species of Gingidium belonged 
to my genus 4nisotome. Mueller, who first described the following and another Australian alpine species from 
Victoria, reduces also the New Zealand genus Aciphylla, Forst., to Gingidium.—As a genus, this may be known 
from its Tasmanian congeners by its dicecious habit, broad, flat, sometimes unegual, carpels, with 4-5 acute ridges 
on each, 5-toothed calyx, inflexed stamens, large stylopodia, and suberect styles.

caule procumbente ramoso-folioso, foliis coriaceis ambitu late ovatis bipinnatis, rachi rachillaque articulatis,

Has. Summit of Mount Lapeyrouse, Oldfield. 
A small species, growing in tufts often a foot across. Leaves with the blade about 1 inch long; sheaths 
obtuse, membranous; pinnules 2-3 lin. long, 3 lin. broad. Uméels compound: male of many rays; female of few. 
Fruit 1} lin. long.
