In conclusion a fresh diagnosis of the genus Nototriche is appended, 
and in the genus have been included all the Malvastra (Gray), both annual 
and perennial forms, which, as their chief characteristic, have their peduncles 
adnate to the petioles. ` 
Nototriche Turcz. (emend.); a Malvastro A. Gray differt foliis varie 
dissectis lobatis palmatis vel pinnatifido-incisis utrinque vel supra tomen- 
tosis; stipulis petiolis adnatis; pedunculis unifloris plus minus cum petiolis 
connatis; calycibus involucello destitutis, et intra ad basin nectariis 5 in- 
structis; carpellis plus minus birostratis hirsutis. 
Fruticuli depressi, caespitosi, andicolae, saepius pulvinati, caudicibus 
subterraneis lignosis firmis ramosis; raro annui. Folia plerumque basalia, 
nonnunquam caulina, petiolata, pedunculis unifloris petiolorum faciebus su- 
perioribus magis minusve adnatis; stipulae petiolis plus minus ad medium 
adnatae et cum iis plerumque quasi vaginam membranaceam facientes; 
laminae varie dissectae aut utrinque aut supra tantum plus minus stellato- 
tomentosae. Flores solitarii; pro magnitudine plantarum vulgo majusculi 
et speciosi. Calyx obovoideus, tubulosus vel campanulatus involucello desti- 
tutus plerumque ad medium 5-lobus extra saepius stellato-tomentosus, lobis 
intus et ad margines saepissime tomentosis, ad basin nectariis 9 pilorum 
glanduliferorum instructus. Petala 5 obovata vel oblonga, aliquando re- 
tusa, basi in tubum stamineum magis minusve coalita. Ovarium sessile, 
8—pluriloculare; ovula in loculis solitaria, adscendentia. Styli loculorum 
numero, basi coaliti, superne liberi, apice capitati et stigmatiferi. Fructus 
depressus, pluricarpellatus ; carpella monosperma, apice magis minusve in 
cuspidem vel rostra duo producta, hirsuta, ab axi centrali solubilia, apice 
et dorso plus minusve dehiscentia. Semina reniformia, compressa.
