eanescentibus, pedunculis brevissimis, caleycibus viscoso-tomentosis, carpellis 10 pubescentibus 
angulis exterioribus mucronatis—Isle of Puna, near Guayaquil. 
Habitu Bastardia viscose non dissimilis, Tomentum breve, viscidulum, canescens. Folia 1-14 poll. 
longa, petiolo semipollicari. Pedicelli axillares seepe glomerati, vix lineam longi. Flores magnitudine S. rhom- 
bifoliw. Calyx post anthesin auctus et stellato-patens. Fructus depressus, stellato-radians, in coccos vix 
dehiscentes secedens. 
The fruit at first sight resembles that of an Anoda, but separates into distinct 
carpels as in Sida. The habit has no resemblance to Anoda.
