NAT. On». LX. SCROPHULARINEA, Juss. 
Gen. I. CALCEOLARIA, eui. 
Calyx basi ovario subadheerens, 4-partitus. — Corol/e tubus brevissimus; limbus concavus, 2-lobus, lobo 
inferiore inflato. Stamina 2, lateralia. Capsula ovato-conica, septicide dehiscens; valvulis bifidis, margini- 
bus inflexis columnam placentiferam nudantibus. Benth. in DC. Prodr. 
A very large South American genus, of which upwards of a hundred species are known, chiefly from the west 
side of the Andes. The only two extra-American species are the New Zealand ones, and are Herbs, with opposite 
leaves and axillary or terminal many-flowered peduncles. Calyx four-parted, adhering to the very base of the 
ovary. Corolla of two lips; upper lip small, arching; lower large, inflated; tube very short. Siamens two, one 
on each side of the tube of the corolla.— The New Zealand species belong to the section Jovellana, which 
has the corolla more equally two-lipped and less inflated. (Name from calceola, a slipper ; from the shape of the 
lower lip.)

Has. Northern Island. East Cape, Sinclair. Hawke’s Bay, Colenso. 
This species is so very nearly allied to C. punctata, of South Chili, that it is only to be distinguished by the 
usually broader leaves, fewer flowers, and smaller calyx, characters used by Mr. Bentham to distinguish Dr. Sin- 
clair's, the original specimens, but which are hardly borne out by others received from Mr, Colenso. Did the New 
Zealand plant occur in South Chili, it would be referred to C. punctata, but the wide difference of locality suggests 
the propriety of adopting very slender grounds to separate them. — Whole plant covered with glandular pubescence. 
Stems. decumbent, woody below, simple or branched, 6 inches to a foot high. Leaves petiolate, opposite, membra- 
nous, 3-6 inches long (petioles 4-3 inches), ovate, coarsely doubly or trebly crenate, or serrate, or lobed. Pamicles 
trichotomously branched, slender, few-flowered. Calyx very small; segments ovate, blunt. Corolla downy, yellow, 
spotted with purple, 4 inch long, divided to the middle into two concave lips, the upper shortest, lower obscurely 
lobed.—This is a variable plant, differing according to size and hairiness with the exposure. 
2. Calceolaria repens, Hook. fil.; herbacea, pubescens, caule gracili elongato repente ramoso, ramis 
prostratis ascendentibusve filiformibus, foliis longe et gracile petiolatis rotundatis grosse dupli-triplicato- 
crenato-dentatis, pedicellis paucis gracilibus 1-2-floris, calyce semisupero lobis brevibus obtusis, capsulis 
membranaceis. 
Has. Northern Island. Base of Ruahine range, in ravines, Colenso. 
A very slender, creeping, pubescent plant. Stems long (8-10 inches). Branches suberect, sparingly leafy, 
slender. Leaves opposite; petiole slender, $ inch long; lamina 4-4 inch, orbicular, coarsely crenate, the crenatures 
toothed. Peduncles axillary or terminal or subpaniculate, two or three together at the ends of the branches. 
Capsule membranous, + inch long, obovate, its conical lower half adherent to the calyx; valves blunt.—I regret 
very much being unacquainted with the flowers of this curious species; it appears very closely related to a South 
American one.
