This undescribed Hotzy-nocx was communicated by our 
friend, Joan Wanker, Esq. of Arno’s-Grove, who raised it 
from seeds received from the West-Indies. It required to be eS 
kept in the stove, and seemed remarkably impatient of cold. 
It grew with an upright hispid stem about three feet high. 
Leaves bright green, paler underneath, cordate at the base, 
and obsoletely five-lobed : lobes rounded, between crenulate 
and serrate : petioles erect, longer than the membranous part 
_ of the leaf, thickened towards the base, hairy. Stipules one 
on each side the petiole, scariose, four-cleft: segments un- 
equal, spreading out like fingers. Flowers solitary, alternate 
on very short footstalks, pale rose-coloured. Hxternal Calyx 
nine- sometimes eight-cleft : internal five-cleft. Petals five, 
obcordate, somewhat undulate. Claws united at the base 
and thickly bearded. Stamens very many, collected into a 
globular form, surmounted by many long, capillary, diffuse 
stigmas. Capsules about thirty-six.
