About 5 species, Brazil. V. calcarata, Lem. (Houttea pardina, Decne. Gesnera pardina, Hook.). St. about 1 1/2 ft. high, erect, rather stout, terete, brown, branched: lvs. rather stoutly petioled, elliptical, acute, rather thick and fleshy, strongly serrated, downy above and more so beneath: peduncle axillary, solitary, 1-fld., shorter than the lvs.: calyx-tube turbinate, adherent with the lower part of the ovary, segms. large, acute, spreading; corolla 1 1/2 in. or more long, ochre-red, yellow within, spotted with deep red, especially the limb and tube inside; ovary semi-inferior, hairy, with 5 yellow glands.
