Abstract
In 1847, J.D. Hooker published the genus Lyallia and its unique species, which he had found at Christmas Bay in the north of the Archipelago of Kerguelen during his famous voyage to the Antarctic. He wrote: “I have placed it provisionally amongst Portulaceae, knowing no other order with which it has any equally direct affinity” (p. 549). Hooker was not in possession of any flowers, only fruits; the original description was, therefore, completed by Oliver who obtained flowers from Moseley (see Moseley 1875).
