are smooth, with a few hairs about the hilum; whereas in the 
Cape de Verd and Egyptian plant they are entirely covered 
with hair. After having merged the present plant in his Sida 
Asiatica, Cavanilles cultivated it from Senegalese seeds, and 
reproduced it under the name of Sida glauca, thereby adding 
to the confusion; though this name must necessarily be 
adopted by us. It is not only a question of nomenclature, 
but important geographically; as we thus obtain a purely 
African species in the place of an Asiatic plant, reappearing 
somewhat unaccountably in Egypt, the Canaries, the Capé 
de Verds, and Senegal.
