Metternichia (Prince Metternich, 1772-1859, Austria). Solanaceae. Probably less than a half-dozen glabrous showy-fld. trees or shrubs of the American tropics, little known in cult.and none of which appears to be in the trade: lvs. entire, shining: fls. solitary or clustered at the ends of the branches, white or rose-red to yellowish; corolla funnelform, tube enlarging above, the limb with 5 or 6 broad lobes; stamens 5, affixed in the base of the corolla, included or somewhat exserted; ovary sessile, 2-celled, the style filiform: caps, narrow, 4-valved. M. Wercklei, Schum., Costa Rica, is recently recorded in horticultural literature: sarmentose evergreen shrub with edible tuberous root- stock, sometimes epiphytic: lvs. ovate: fls. in terminal corymbs, like gloxinia in form, corolla 3 in. long and 2 in. across, fragrant, white changing to sulfur-yellow.
