9. GUNNER A, Linn.

Without doubt Dr. Hooker has rightly interpreted Mr. Brown's 

 views (to which Mr. Bennett, in his article on Gunnera, above-cited, 

 gave no clue), in referring this genus to the Haloragece. His former 

 oversight in respect to the embryo is corrected in Fl. N. Zeal. p. 65 : 

 the exception mentioned, that the leaves are alternate in Gunnera, 

 may likewise be omitted, since they are alternate in Proserpinaca, 

 Meionectes, and in some species of Haloragis and Myriophyllum.
