Nature (10 June 1920), says: 
“ His contribution to the investigation of the origin and development of 
the family is by far the most important that has appeared for many years. 
Conclusions are drawn to the effect that the Senecioneae are the most 
primitive type of the family and that from them directly or indirectly, 
and ultimately from Senecio itself, as the basal genus from which the 
Senecioneae arose, there sprang all the other tribes and genera of the 
family. This is very strikingly confirmed by a study of the geographical 
distribution."
