There is a short woody, perennial root-stock, from which spring several weak, 
annual stems 1-2 feet long or more, with distant nodes ; the petioles are usually 
much longer than the lamina. Pubescence (except in y.) copious and soft. The 
flowers are small, pale-rosy, with or without spots. 
124. P. malvefolium (Jacq. f. Eccl. t. 97); stems suffruticose, slen- 
der; branches weak and straggling, hairy, herbaceous, with distant 
nodes ; leaves on long petioles, cordate at base, roundish, 5-lobed, hairy 
on both sides, with short, coarsely-toothed lobes ; stipules small, ovate, 
acute, hairy, withering ; peduncles long, 5~8-flowered; flowers sub- 
sessile, the slender calyx tube 3-4 times longer than the lanceolate, 
acute, hairy segments ; petals sub-egual, narrow obovate, blood-red, with 
darker lines. DC. Prod. 1. p. 654, P. lateritium and P. cynobastifolium,

Only known to me by Jacquin’s figure and description. It seems to have very 
much uf the habit of P. alchemilloides, especially of our var. +.

med, pilose ; stems herbaceous, angular; leaves on long petioles 5-7: 
nerved, reniform, 5~7-lobed, the lobes rounded and crenate ¥ stipules 
flowered, with ciliate bracts ; flowers sub-sessile, the calyx tubes much 
longer than the narrow-lanceolate, striate, often glandular segments.
