Taxonomic remark The distinctness of the genera Tulpa and Campanularia is arguable. Bouillon et al. (2006) kept them separate, but acknowledged that they might also be merged. The type species of Tulpa, Campanularia tulipifera, with its deep, tulipiform hydrotheca, is indeed rather distinct from most other Campanularia species. However, when comparing to the full variablitly within the genus Campanularia, it becomes difficult to draw a separation line. Notably, also the type species of Campanularia, C. volubilis, also has a deep, narrow hydrotheca. Some of the species here included in Tulpa have also often been attributed to the genus Campanularia.

Diagnosis Campanulariidae forming stolonal or branched colonies; hydrotheca very deep and large, tulip-shaped, with flared margin, narrowing under, usually longitudinally ridged or lined, without true diaphragm but with annular thickening; hydranth with distinct trumpet-shaped hypostome; gonophores as fixed sporosacs, gonothecae pedicellate, borne on hydrorhiza, annulated, planula developing inside gonothecae.
