The material from which the description was drawn up was 

 communicated by Dr. E. De Wildeman who suspected in it a new 

 genus. The name Gyclocotyla is intended to allude to the fleshy 

 shallow cup (kotv\ij), formed by the base of the calyx and the 

 widening of the floral axis, and the ring-shaped (kvkXo^) swelling 

 by which this cup presents itself when seen from without.
