In the most recent monograph of the genus Calceolaria 
Dr. Kraenzlin has recognised about two hundred species, all 
of them confined to the American continent, where they 
extend from Mexico through Central America to South 
America, and occur also in the Falkland Islands. In the 
case of the solitary Peruvian form with triandrous flowers, 
C. triandra, Vahl, the treatment proposed by G. Don has 
been followed and the plant is recognised as the type of a 
distinct genus Porodittia, @. Don; while the four New 
Zealand species, to which have to be added two from Chile 
and Peru, with ringent but not calceolate lips, have been 
placed by Kraenzlin in a distinct genus, Jovellana. With 
very. few exceptions the species referable to the restricted 
January, 1912. :
