Pentarhapia (Greek, five needles, referring to the form of the open calyx). Gesneriaceae. Shrubs or subshrubs, one or two of which are grown under glass for the fls. This genus is most commonly treated as a section of the genus Gesneria, but is considered distinct by some. The principal characters of the section are the relatively bare branches, the 1- to several-fld. elongated peduncles borne in the lf .-axils: fls. with a crooked cylindrical tube; stamens more or less long- exserted. At least 15 species, Mex., W. Indies, and S. Amer. P. floribunda, Carr. Much of the material cult, under this name is referable to Gesneria libanensis (Vol. Ill, p. 1333), but some of it may be other species, as there appears to be more than one plant passing under this name. R.H. 1878:30. B.M. 4380. R.B. 25: 241. These portraits may not all represent the same plant. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
