The Sida Dombeyana of De Candolle is a native of the 
vicinity of Lima, as is this plant; and, as far as can be 
judged from the exceedingly short character of that author, 
they may be the same. The only points at variance are, that 
the stems can hardly be called filiform, and that the leaves 
are not ovato-cordate, but truly and broadly heart-shaped. 
Hence I have quoted the above synonym with a mark of 
doubt. Mee

This seems to be too nearly allied to S. paniculata, as 
De Candolle himself inclines to think, and to the S. atro- 
sanguinea, Jacq. Ic. t. 136, with which Sprengel unites it, (as 
he does also the Abutilon pedunculare of Humb. and Kunth,) 
making it a species distinct from S. paniculata. 'The flowers 
are, in a dried state, blackish-purple. ; |
