is much inflated in the middle, with a remarkably contracted 
mouth, bursting irregularly with the growth of the fruit, and not 
divided into distinct sepals as in the other genera above- men- 
tioned ; it is also distinguishable from Juanulloa by its long, 
handsome, tubular corolla. Its name is derived from cdpé£, caro, 
and dion, vesica, because of its fieshy inflated calyx.

This appears to be a scandent plant ; its leaves are quite smooth 
above, with a finely rugulose or shagreened surface ; below they 
are, as well as the petiole, covered with a dense orange-coloured 
and short tomentum ; they are 4 inches long, 24 inches broad, on 
a thick channeled petiole half an inch long ; the flowers appear 
racemose ; the calyx 1} inch long, nearly an inch in diameter ; the 
corolla is 21 inches in length, 8 lines diameter in the middle, 
contracted at both extremities to 5 lines, with oblong triangular 
teeth, 3 lines long; the berry unripe is 14 inch long, ¢ inch dia- 
meter, surrounded by the persistent coriaceous calyx, which is 
irregularly split on one side to the base ; the hairs 6f the tomen- 
tum are distinctly brachiate*. 
EcrozoMa. 
In the Pavonian herbarium, preserved in the British Museum, 
I have noticed a plant that offers much analogy with the fore- 
going genera, agreeing with all the Solandree im its habit, its 
coriaceous leaves, and terrinal paniculated inflorescence, and 
* This species will be shown in plate 47 of the ‘ Illustr. South Amer. 
Plants.’
