Secr. ITI. Maracrotpex. Heads of flowers involucrated. 
This sectionof Sida agrees with Malachra, as it is now consti- 
tuted. There is much difference of opinion about the character 
of that genus. According to St. Hilaire, the heads of flowers are 
involucrated, but the calyx is simple, and the pedicels are brac- 
teate, with 10 stigmas and 5 separable 2-valved carpels ; there- 
fore those species, included in that genus, with a double calyx, 
belong to Pavonia, such as M. cordata and M. bracteata. 
145 S. ru’tva (St. Hil. fl. bras. 1. p. 176.) stems trailing ; 
leaves elliptical, very blunt, entire at the base, but serrated at

elliptical-oblong ; carpels mutic. h. S. Native of Brazil in

toothed at the apex, smooth above, but pilose and scabrous be- 
neath; petioles recurved and jointed at the apex; leaflets of in- 
volucel linear ; carpels 8, 2-beaked, wrinkled, and rather muri- 
cated. h.S. Native of Brazil in the province of Cisplatine.
