Not seen. The bracteoles being as long as the calyx show that this can be no plant 

 in the Kew bundles of Dyschoriste. As nothing is stated of style, ovules, capsule 

 or seeds, it is not possible to guess in what genus this missing plant is to be sought.

 obtuse, very glabrous. Flowers solitary, axillary ; bracteoles lanceolate- 

 linear, obtuse, shorter than the bristle-acuminate calyx. — Calophanes
