Resumo

monograph of the tribe Chamelauciez of Myrtaceze maintained two genera, enumerating all the western species under Genetyllis and the two eastern ones under Darwinia.He further states, "That in Genetyllis the staminodia are equally distant from the sepaline and from the petaline stamens (those opposite the sepals and petals respectively) whilst in Darwinia they are nearer to the petaline ones, thus showing they belong to a different series from those of Genetyllis."Bentham (B.FI. iii, 6, 1866) set up two sections in the genus Darwinia, namely, Genetyllis with 18 species and Schauermannia with 7 species making a total of 25 species.The chief characters of the two species referred to above under this subsection are as follows:-"Leaves mostly opposite, triquetrous or laterally flattened.Flowers 2 to 4in the head.Petals ovate.Staminodia small and subulate.''-D.tawxifolia.
