Cult. These plants are not worth cultivating except in bo- 
tanical gardens. The seeds only require to be sown on a hot-bed 
frame in spring, and when the plants are of sufficient size they 
should be transplanted separately into other pots, and about the 
end of May they should be removed into the green-house, where 
they will ripen seed. A mixture of loam and peat will suit 
them well. The perennial species, 4. incarnata, should be kept 
in the stove, and may be easily increased by seeds, or cuttings. 
XXVI. PERI’PTERA (from zepirrepa, periptera, a shuttle- 
cock ; resemblance in shape of flower.) D. C. prod. 1. p. 459.

Petals erect, spirally twisted into a tube, but at length becoming 
distinct. Capsule stellately many-celled. Cells 1-seeded. This 
genus differs from Sida as Malvaviscus does from Hibiscus.

_ cordate, somewhat 5-lobed, halbert-shaped, upper ones halbert- 
shaped ; peduncles solitary, axillary; petals erect, spatulate, 
somewhat toothed at the apex, twice the length of the calyx.

ptera, Sims, bot. mag. t. 1644. Sida Malvaviscus, Moc. et Sesse, 
fl. mex. icon. ined. Sida rùbra, Tenor. hort. nap. A’noda puni- 
cea, Lag. nov: gen. t. 21. An elegant plant. 
Crimson-flowered Periptera, Fl. May, Aug.

2 P. Mecarora’mica ; smooth; leaves subcordate, acuminated, 
trifid, toothed, 5-nerved; peduncles solitary, axillary, much 
longer than the leaves; petals at first conniving into a tube, 
erect, much longer than the calyx, which is truncate at the base, 
veined, pale; genitals exserted. h. S. Native of Brazil on 
the banks of the Rio Grande. Sida Megapotamica, Spreng. syst. 
tent. suppl. p. 19. Flowers probably pale-red. 
Rio Grande Periptera. Shrub 2 feet. 
Cult. These pretty little shrubs will thrive well in a mixture 
of loam and peat, and cuttings will root freely in sand under a 
hand-glass, but as they ripen seed in abundance this will not be 
necessary.

XXVII. STDA (a name given by Theophrastes to an aquatic 
plant, which is believed to be analogous with Althea.) Cav. 
diss. p. 5. D. C. prod. 1. p. 459.—Sida and Napæ'a, Lin. Lam. 
ill. t. 578 and 579. Sida Bastardia and Gaya, Kunth, malv. 
p 4. 
Lin. syst. Monadélphia, Polyandria. Calyx naked, 5-cleft, 
usually angular, Style multifid at the apex. Carpels capsular, 
5-30, in a whorl around the central axis, more or less connected 
together, 1-celled, 1-seeded, mutic or awned at the apex.—A 
very polymorphous genus, differing greatly from each other in 
the structure of the fruit and seeds; but notwithstanding we 
consider it most adviseable to retain the whole under Sida, as 
the carpology of the greater mass of the species are not suffi- 
ciently known,
