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 Ridley 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. — Distrib. Species 20, 
dispersed throughout the Tropical and Temperate Zones.
