This immenfe genus very much needs revifing and requires 



I 



the 



dividing into feveral, which might be conveniently done, as 

 propofed by Mr. Salisbury, from the various ftrufture of 



- filaments, ftigmas, and feed-veflel. 



In our plant the jligmas are fully as long as the ftyle, and 

 entirely divaricate, filiform, and obtufe; ovary conical and 

 covered with foft hairs ; the filaments are befet at the lower 

 part with glandular hairs, and are united together at the bafe ; 

 the fafcige of the corolla hairy. The leaves vary from ovate- 

 cordate to oblong-cordate, and are fometimes acute, fometimes 

 obtufe, and fometimes quite rounded at the point ; all of them 

 pubefcent on both fides ; foft, and, upon the upper furface 

 especially, feel like a piece of fine cloth. The peduncles are 

 from one to fix-flowered.
