1844 Bory investigates the Genus, which until then had been very 
much neglected, and adds to the three then known species (/. lacustris, 
Coromandelina , and setacea ) three new ones discovered in Algeria by 
Durieu de Maissonneuve. 
1846. A. Braun, in Regensburg bot. Zeitung, No. 12, briefly

1853. Darlington, FI. Cest. ed. ii. p. 402, mentions lacus¬
