3-4 erect lobes, Capsule 3-4 celled, loculicidal ; seeds subglobose ; 
often pubescent or woolly. Endl. Gen. No. 5279. Benth. & Hook. Gen. 
Pl. 1. p. 208, 
Shrubs or subshrubs, with the habit of Hibiscus, chiefly natives of America, one 
Australian. Leaves entire or lobed. Flowers mostly yellow. The name is in 
honour of Bernard Cienfuegos, a Spanish botanist of the 16th century. 
1, F, Gerrardi (Harv.); suffruticose, diffuse or decumbent, sparsely 
stellulato-pubescent ; leaves petiolate, cordate at base, broadly-ovate or 
reniform, bluntly 3-lobed or entire, the lobes mucronulate, nigro-punctate 
beneath ; stipules leafy, ovato-lanceolate or spathulate ; calyx cam- 
panulate, its lobes oblong, acute, with rounded interspaces ; involucel 
few-leaved, its leaves shorter than the calyx-tube ; one-half of each 
petal glabrous and nigro-punctate, the other half tomentose ; seeds 
thinly woolly.

“A trailling, shrubby plant, the branches 3 feet long or more ; flowers deep- 
yellow.” —Gerr. in litt.  Petioles about uncial. Leaves 1-14 inch long, 14-2 
inches broad, 3-5-nerved, most frequently 3-lobed or 3-angled, the upper ones 
roundish or reniform, Peduncles axillary, longer than the leaves. Stipules green 
and leaf-like, tapering at base, midribbed and veiny, }—} inch long, 2-4 lines wide. 
A very distinct species; most like F. heterophylla, Juss., but abundantly different. 
2. F. triphylla (Harv.) ; suffruticose, densely stellato-pulverulent 
and canescent ; leaves petiolate, triphyllous; leaflets broadly-lanceolate, 
acute, very entire, nigro-punctate ; stipules subulate, deciduous ; calyx 
campanulate, its small lobes deltoideo-cuspidate, with rounded inter- 
spaces ; involucel 3-leaved, its lanceolate leaves equalling the calyx- 
tube ; one-half of each petal glabrous and nigro-punctate, the other 
half thinly stellulate ; ovary trilocular ; style much longer than the 
stamens, tricrenate.

A branch only seen. Petioles 3 inch long. Leaves digitately triphyllous ; 
leaflets 2 inches long, 4 inch wide, both surfaces canescent with extremely minute, 
stellulate pubescence. Peduncles equalling the petioles. Stipules 2-3 lines long, 
4 line wide. Flowers pale-yellow with a dark-purple centre. Very unlike FP. 
digitata in pubescence, the shape of leaflets, and especially the involucre. The 
calyx, involucre, petals, and foliage are nigro-punctate,

large), oblong, obtuse, cordate at base, green, repando-crenate, laxly 
clothed on both sides with stipitate and sessile stellate hairs ; stipules 
very broad, amplexicaul, palmatifid ; flowers in lateral or terminal 
branched racemes ; pedicels slender, equalling the calyx ; bracts lan- 
ceolate or bifid, with lanceolate lobes ; calyx semi-quinquefid, densely 
stellato-canescent ; lobes lanceolate, acute ; petals not much exceeding 
0 calyx, the _ feng claw equalling the ovate limb ; filaments 
near or subulate, with very narrow wings, ste - ;
