Remarkable for its great roughness, all parts feeling harsh to the touch. It is 
sometimes very glandular and viscid, sometimes nearly bare of glands. E. & Z.’s 
P. crategifolium (638) has narrower leaves than common, and connects the normal 
state of the species with P. balsameum Jucq.! our var. 8. Drege’s 5460 is a feeble- 
growing variety. This species borders closely on P. crispum, but the leaves are 
larger, not distichous, more cuneate at base, and on longer petioles ; and the stipules 
and inflorescence are different. 
**** Leaves cordate or hastate at base, more or less deeply 5—7-lobed, or sinuato-pin- 
natifid ; often viscoso-pubescent. (Sp. 151-155.) 
151. P. ribifolium (Jacq.! Ic. t. 538); shrubby, much-branched, 
sparsely hairy and glandular ; leaves on long petioles, somewhat hastate — 
at base, more or less deeply 5-7-lobed, the lobes shallow, obtuse, or acute, 
deeply 5-toothed, glandular, hispidulous or pubescent, the nerves pro- 
minent below ; stipules cordate-acuminate ; inflorescence panicled, cy- 
mose; the partial peduncles short, 4-5-flowered; pedicels and calyx 
setose ; flowers small, the 3 lower petals longer than the lanceolate sepals.

A much-branched, rather rigid shrub, 2~3 feet high, with inflorescence of P. pa- 
pilionaceum, but much harsher and smaller leaves. Flowers white. 
152. P. papilionaceum (Ait. Kew. 2. p. 423) ; suffruticose at base, 
herbaceous upwards, much-branched, hairy and glandular; leaves on 
long petioles, deeply cordate at base, obtusely 5-7-lobed, the lobes shal- 
__ low or obsolete, crenate, both surfaces densely hairy, the nerves promi- 
nent below ; stipules cordate, acute ; inflorescence densely panicled, the _ 
partial peduncles short, glandular and hairy ; pedicels and calyces pa-_

3--4 feet high, with the habit of P. hispidum, but with blunter and obsoletely-lobed 
leaves, \dly cordate stipules and bracts, and very different flowers. The upper 
tals are twice as long as the sepals, strongly reflexed, purple, with a dark spot. Dil- 
nius’ figure, above quoted, is excellent. #. 4 Z. confounded this with P. tomentosum,

153. P. tomentosum (Jacq. ! Ic. t. 53 ae half-herbaceous, diffuse 
much branched, densely and softly tomentose ; leaves on long petioles 
deeply hastato-cordate at base, 5-7-lobed, the lobes broad and shallow 
obtuse, mucronulate, crenate, velvetty on both sides ; stipules cordate 
cuspidate ; inflorescence laxly panicled, the partial peduncles long, vi 
lous, many-flowered ; pedicels many times longer than the calyx- 
flowers small, the 3 lower petals longer than the sepals. /
