Lin. syst. Monadélphia, Polydndria. Calyx naked, 5-cleft. 
Carpels many, capsular, 1-seeded, collected into a head without

bot. reg. t. 1375. l 
Rhomb-leaved Palavia. Fl. July, Aug. Pl. prostrate. 
Cult. These plants are not worth cultivating except in bota- 
nical gardens. The seeds require to be sown on a hot-bed early 
in the spring, and the plants should be transplanted into the open 
border in the month of May, where they will ripen their seeds.

XXIV. Cristaria. XXV. Axona. 489 
p. 465. Malva coccinea, Fras. cat. Nutt. gen. amer. 2. p. 81. 
Flowers bright scarlet. Styles 10. Carpels not winged. 
Scarlet-flowered Cristaria. Fl. Aug. Sep. Clt. 1811. Pl. 3 ft. 
. Cult. The three first species should be grown in pots in a mix- 
ture of sand and peat, and in.winter they should be kept in a 
green-house or a frame. The C. coccinea will only thrive when 
planted in a border of peat soil, and it is propagated but. slowly 
by dividing the roots, or by seeds. The others may be propa- 
gated in the same manner.
