Tbis genus.is so nearly related to G o mphoio bi um 

 tbat it almost could be united with it. Except for the number 

 of ovules there is no difference wliatever between lliem. Botli 

 genera are composed of groups of species widely enough se- 

 parated and contain parallel species with the samé hábit, 

 which points to their common phylogenetic origin. B u r t o 

 n i a with its number of ovules reduced to t w o must of course 

 be considered as the more derived type. The genus is, how- 

 ever, not limited to Western Australia, but has also two 

 representatives íq Northern Australia and one in Queensland.
