Canscora.] XCVII GENTIANACE X. (C. B. Clarke.) 105 
Corolla-tube as long as the calyx; lobes 1-3 in., obovate, obtuse, rose. Capsule } in. 
—Lamarck founded Canscora and the species C, perfoliata on Rheede l.c. ; Grisebach 
says the calyx is exalate, in direct opposition to Rheede's figure and description ; 
moreover the size of the calyx and corolla and whole habit of the plant in Rheede 
shows that his figure means the Pladera perfoliata of the old collectors.
