The status, ecology and relationships of Meziella (Haloragaceae)
ORCHARD, A.E. AND KEIGHERY, G.J.
The monotypic genus Meziella has until now been known only from its very fragmentary and immature type. Because of this its status as a genus and relationships have been unclear, and its description has been incomplete. Recent rediscovery of the species has allowed a full description to be prepared for the first time. It is now confirmed that Meziella is a distinct genus, intermediate in many respects between Haloragis and Myriophyllum. Its somewhat bizarre features are described, its ecology discussed, and a revised key to the Australian genera of the family is provided.
