Hab. Conception. — Formerly arranged among' the Scrophdarinece, but its real affinity was always con- 

 sidered doubtful till lately, when Martius, in the Nov. Gen. Bras. v. 3. p. 68, referred it to the Gesneriacea. 

 We ourselves have no means of examining into the validity of his reasons, as the only specimen in the col- 

 lection has but one flower, and no fruit.
