Herr Schumann has given, in this part of Brazil’s great flora, 
not alone the species of Malvacez occurring in that country, but 
also monographs of those found throughout South America in 
the genera Szda, Abutilon, Gaya and Wissadula, in all of which 
new species are characterized and new binomials formed by
