This is a plant with somewhat the look of a Schistostephium, but 
tailed anthers, although the ng are but short, and rounded 
sk praetngs tyle-arms, must keep it out of the tribe Anthemidea. 
Its true affinity seems to be with the subtsibe Buphthalmee of the 
Inuloidee, among which it may be noted as being one of the few 
discoid genera. The immediate A asiamgte of Sphacophyllum 
and Callilepis seems to us to be its proper Peps in the order 
though from both of them it differs i in important points of structure.
