Campanulaceae. Tall herbs with many-fld. terminal racemes: fls. usually red or yellow; corolla-lobes all incurved, cohering at the apex by day. About 8 species from Chile. Now considered a section of Lobelia. T. crassicaulis, Hook. Subshrub about 3 ft. high: st. erect, simple, stout: lvs. densely clustered at the top of the st., spreading, reflexed, lanceolate, or broad-lanceolate, acute, base attenuate to a short petiole, serrate, pubescent above, hoary-tomentose beneath: calyx-tube hemispherical, segms. spreading, acuminate; corolla yellow-orange (finally scarlet), tube laterally compressed, limb 2- lipped. Habitat uncertain. B.M. 4505. J.F. 1:107. This has never been transferred to Lobelia; it may be a Siphocampylus rather than a Lobelia.
