Baron v. Müeller refers the Zannichellia palustris of my Botany of the 
Waikato (Trans. N.Z. Inst., IIT., p. 148) to this species, characterized by 
the ternary arrangement of the female flowers, each with a separate bract, 
and of the fruit ** which altogether agrees with that of Althenia," as well as 
in the cupular trilobate male perianth, and monadelphous anthers. 
It is probable that we have more than one form in the colony.
