species with coriaceous, glabrous leaves, and in which the calyx is surrounded with large petaloid bracts, ought, I think, 
to constitute a natural group, for which I propose the name of Macrochlamys. This group comprehends Macrochlamys 
Patrisii Dne. (Alloplectus Patrisii, DC); M. involucratus Dne. MSS.; M, Miquelii Dne. (Alloplectus Patrisii Miq. non 
DC); M. speciosm Dne. MSS.; M. guttatus Dne MSS., Linden, No. 547. 
" The other genera of the tribe of Gesnerads, with a free ovary and named by Brown Besleria, are Hypocyrta, with an 
hypogynous, cupule-shaped disk ; Episcia, the type of which may be taken to be E. bkolor.—Bot. Mag. 4590 ; Drymonia, 
of which one species, D. punctata, is cultivated ; Nematanthus, figured in the Hot. Mag. 4080 ; and in Paxton, under tin 
wrong names of Columnea spkndens grandijlora, vol. x.; Tapeinotes; and Trichantke, of which we have no species in our 
gardens." 
According to M. Van Houtte, who is the sole possessor of this fine species, it grows perfectly in a greenhouse in a mixture 
of leaf-mould and loam. M. Planchon mentions a second Campanea, with sea-green flowers, speckled with purple, and 
current under the name of Gloxinia tigridia, concerning which we have no further information.
