This plant, so well figured and described by Cavanilles, as 

 a new genus, {Castelia^) has been referred to the genus Priva 

 by Jussieu, and perhaps with justice. In habit it is not very 

 dissimilar, but the calyx, though it becomes enlarged in pro- 

 portion as the fruit increases in size, is never inflated, and it 

 is always naked, free from setae. Flowers fragrant. Roots 

 tuberous, whence the vernacular name " Papilla."
