Sida Napcea is more generally known in our nurseries by 

 the name of Navjea Icevis, under which it occurs in the first 

 edition of Aiton's Hortus Kewensis. It has indeed been the 

 &te of this plant to be transferred backwards and forwards 

 between these two genera. Lixnjeus at first ranked it under 

 Sida; remarking, however, that it differed so much from the 

 other species, that it might easily constitute a new genus.
