This example shows no fruit, and the flowers are not in a state for dissection. This 

 collection has been supposed to be near Limnanthemum parvifolium, Griseb., which 

 has smaller flowers, with the peduncles (several) clustered in the axil of a sessile leaf. 

 This plant of Eidley appears to come near the Swan River Villarsia violifolia, F. 

 Muell. 



6. Limnanthemum, S. P. Gmel. 



Peduncles several in the axil of a nearly sessile leaf. Capsule thin, 

 breaking up irregularly, otherwise as Villarsia. — Disteib. Species 20, 

 dispersed throughout the Tropical and Temperate Zones.
