106. (2.) Malva (Malvastrum) humilis, (Gill. mst.); sub- 
acaulis, radice multicipi, foliis longe petiolatis cordatis 
3-5-lobis obtuse crenatis petiolisque dense molliter stellato- 
tomentosis, lobis imbricatis, pedunculis axillaribus petiolo 
brevioribus solitariis 1-floris, involucelli foliolis 3 lineari-

107. (3.) Malva? peduncularis, (Hook. et Arn.); adscen- 
dens parce stellatim pubescens, foliis longe petiolatis 
cordato-subrotundis obtuse 5—7-lobatis crenatis, lobo 
medio paullum majore, stipulis oblongis obtusiusculis 
persistentibus, pedunculis axillaribus elongatis petiolo 
longioribus solitariis unifloris, involucelli foliolis 3 oblon- 
gis sepala emulantibus et zquantibus, corolla subcam- 
panulata (alba.)—Ditches near San Isedro, Tweedie. 
Not having seen the fruit, we can scarcely declare this to 
bea Malva, as it has little affinity with any other species; if 
belonging to this genus,it may rank in the section Bismalve. 
108. (4.) Malva (Malvastrum) tenuifolia, (Hook. et Arn.); 
caule decumbente tomentoso, foliis canescenti-tomentosis 
bipinnatisectis, segmentis anguste linearibus acutis, pedi- 
cellis tomentosis axillaribus solitariis unifloris, involucelli 
foliolis 3 lineari-subulatis membranaceis coloratis deci- 
duis, calyce tomentoso, carpellis 10 muticis.— Province 
of Maule, Cuming (N. 841.) This, M. miniata, and M. 
tenella, have precisely the same kind of spurious involu- 
. celand,so far as that affords a character, the three species 
ought to be placed in the same genus. M. Munroana 
is in the same case, and Sida coccinea only differs by 
having one, instead of three leaflets, under its calyx. 
All of them bear ee red see similar to " Cape 
species of Malva. -
