Mitraria (from the mitre-shaped pods). Gesneriaceae. One Chilean scandent shrub, prized for its bright scarlet flowers.
Leaves opposite, usually small, few-toothed: fls. stalked, solitary in the axils: calyx relatively small, free, 4-5-parted, with 2-lobed large bracts; corolla-tube much exceeding the calyx, ventricose and contracted near the top, the 5 lobes nearly equal; stamens 4, attached near the bottom of the corolla. M. coccinea, Cav., is the only species: lvs. ovate and acute: fls. about 1 ½ in. long, pendent on peduncles much exceeding the lvs. Chile. B.M. 4462. F.S. 4:385. J.H. III. 48:471. G. 5:464; 36:817.—It is a dense-growing sub- scandent evergreen greenhouse plant (standing out- of-doors in parts of England), of easy cult., blooming in summer and autumn.
