Derivation. ‘* From gupsos, lime, and kallistos, most beautiful; the species are very elegant, and 
generally inhabit calcareous districts.” (Don’s Mill.) 
Gen. Char. Calyx 4-parted, glumaceous, naked at the base. Corolla cam- 
panulate, or short tubular, with a dilated’ mouth. Stamens exserted; fila- 
ments flattened or filiform. Anthers bipartite, having the cells mutic at the 
base, distinct and substipulate, dehiscing by an oblique pore. Stigma simple. 
Capsule 4-celled, many-seeded. (Don’s Mill.) 
Leaves simple, alternate, exstipulate, evergreen ; acerose, whorled, lateral 
or terminal. Flowers crowded.— Shrubs, diminutive, evergreen; natives of

exserted anthers, flattened filaments, and simple stigma.
