Matva obtusiloba will rank near to M. abutiloides, agree- 
ing in the colour and structure of the flowers, and in the 
dense stellated pubescence with which the whole plant is 
covered ; but differing essentially in the very obtuse lobes 
of the leaves. It is an inhabitant of Chili, whence seeds 
were sent to us from the vicinity of Valparaiso, by our 
valued correspondent Mr. Crurcxsnanxs. They have 
flourished in the greenhouse, flowering in the month of 
July.
