Ord. VI. LINEiE. DC. 



1. Linum Schiedeanum (JSchl. el Cham.) ; glabrum gracile adscendens sufFruticosum, 

 foliis quaternis verticillatis vel superioribus oppositis, obovato- vel lineari-lanceolatis basi 

 attenuatis, floribus cymosis, bracteas sepalisque glanduloso-ciliatis, floribus flavis.— Ch.

Ord. VII. MALVACEAE. Juss. 



1. Pavonia Mexicana, H.B.K. ? 



Hab. Acapulco. 



Of our plant there is but one specimen, which has a decidedly shrubby stem, and the leaves are cordato- 

 ovate, and acuminated, in which two points it differs widely from Kunth's description. It can scarcely be 

 his P. mollis. 



1. Gossypium Barbadense, L. ? 



Hab. San Bias to Tepic. 



None of the described varieties of Cotton agree precisely with the one before us. The stem is almost 

 glabrous, purplish, woody and dotted with black points ; leaves glabrous, dotted, cordato-ovate, entire or 

 three-lobed, the lobes broadly ovate and acuminated ; middle nerve with a gland a little above the base, 

 leaves of the involucel laciniate, glabrous. The fruit, seeds and wool, we have not seen. 



1. Anoda hastata, Cav Schlecht. in Linnaa, XI. p. 214. — Sida centrota, Spr. 



Hab. Tepic to San Bias ; and Acapulco. 



2. A. lanceolata ,■ foliis oblongo-lanceolatis acuminatis crenatis nunc ad medium 

 utrinque unidentatis subtus velutinis supra scabridis, pedunculis folium sequantibus caly- 

 ceque scabro-velutinis, sepalis floriferis ovatis obtusis fructiferis in acumen obtusiusculum 

 margine involutum attenuatis, corolla (flava?) 9 lin. longa calycem triplo superante, 

 fructu e carpidiis sub-10 brevissime mucronatis composito. 



Hab. Tepic to San Bias. 



1. Sida rhomboidea, Roxb — L. obliqua, Flor. Mex. ined.? 



Hab. Tepic to San Bias. 



This differs principally from S. rhombifolia by the carpels being awnless or at most two-toothed, and 

 certainly not birostrate. 



2. S. carpinifolia, L. — var. carpellis bidentatis haud birostratis. 

 Hab. Tepic to San Bias. 



We may here remark that 5. curpinoides DC, referred by some as a variety to S. carpinifolia, is 

 Malva tricuspidata, Ait.
