Species 2 v. 3, inter se valde affines, Indie Orientalis incole, DOC. Prod, i. 500. WigAt, Ic. 1. 879 
ad 881. Genus ab auctoribus Bueitneriaceis adscitum, sed antherce 1-loeulares late 2-valves omnino 
Side. Bracteolw et capsula fere Hibiscearum, sed columna staminea Abutilearum, inter quas Howittie 
accedit. 
20. Wissadula, Medik. ez Presl, Rel. Henk. ii. 117. ?. 69.—Bracteole 0. Calyx 5-fidus. 
Columna staminea apice in filamenta oo divisa. Ovarii loculi 5, 2-3- rarius 1l-ovulati; 
styli rami 5, apice capitato-stigmatosi. Fructus apice truncatus; carpella apice extrorsum 
angulata v. rostrata, intus lamella transversa v. costa transversali plus minus septata, 
maturitate membranacea, 2-valvatim dehiscentia. Semina in parte inferiore 1-2 pendula, 
in parte superiore 1—2 adscendentia v. rarius O.—Frutices tomento sepius canescente. 
Folia cordata, integerrima v. dentata, Pedunculi axillares, 1-co-flori, superiores in pani- 
culam terminalem seu spicam interruptam dispositi. Flores flavi, parvuli. 
Species ad 5, in America tropica crescentes, una etiam per Africam et Asiam tropicam dispersa. 
Walp. Rep.i. 327. Genus ab Abwtilo septo v. costa transversali carpellorum differt, et nostro sensu 
includit etiam Sida divergentem, Benth. (Side sect. Wissada, Griseb. Fl. Brit. W. Ind. 71), eui pars 
superior earpellorum asperma, inferior l-sperma. A Sidis tamen omnibus differt carpellorum rostris 
ut in Wissadulis Abutilisque plurimis divergentibus, nec ut in Sidis veris erecto-conniventibus.
