128 STERCULIACEA. 
Planchon and -Triana (Prodr. Fl. Nov. Gran. i. p. 195) unite Quararibea with 
Myrodia; but there are characters by which these two genera may be distinguished, 
though they are closely allied. The species here described and figured certainly has 
2-celled anthers; therefore it is placed next to Myrodia, in this family, instead of 
leaving it in the Malvacee.
