Abstract
The systematic position of Cosmocalyx, heretofore heated as a genus in certae sedis, is discussed. The morphological features of Cosmocalyx s uggest strong similarities to various genera of the Hamelieae, to whic h it is compared and where it is placed. A complete description of Cos mocalyx, observations on its phenology, and comments on calyx and frui t development are presented and illustrated.
