serrate; ultimate segments 1 to 2in. long, A to lin. broad, those of the upper 
leaves never linear. Peduncles usually elongate. Pedicels 1 to 1^ line long. 
Kays 6 to GO, A to 2in. long, stout. Fruits 1^ line long, subquadrate-ellipsoid,

Calyx-teeth shortly prominent. Petals acute, concave, the margins not 
recurved, imbricate in the bud. Disk scarcely distinct from the conical base of 
the styles. Fruit broadly ovoid, very slightly laterally compressed. Carpels 
nearly terete, with 5 corky ribs, the lateral ones forming a thick mass at the 
rather broad commissure, with 1 vitta under each furrow and 2 at the commissure. 
Carpophore not separating from the carpels. Albumen of the seed terete. — 
Small creeping herb. Leaves linear-terete, undivided. Umbels simple, with 
minute involucral bracts. 
The genus is confined to a single species, extending to New Zealand and extratropical and

and rooting at the nodes. Leaves solitary or tufted at the nodes, slender, 
tistulose, marked with transverse nodes, from under lin. in some specimens to 2 
or Bin. long, or even more, rarely in American specimens broader and flattened 
at the upper end. Peduncles filiform, solitary at the nodes, each with an umbel 
of 8 to 12 or sometimes more minute flowers, on pedicels of 1 to 2 lines. Fruits 
very small. — DC. Prod. iv. 71 ; Hook. f. FI. Tasm. i. 160, and FI. Antarct. 287
