Stipules filiform, Flowers axillary, short-peduncled, Ex-

‘H. rhombifolius. Cavan and Wiild, iii. 818. 
Like H. Rosa-sinensis, there are many varieties of the plant 
cultivated in India. I have not yet foynd it in its wild state. 
The leaves vary from rhomboidal to three-lobed. I have 
therefore little doubt of H. rhombifolius of Willdenow and 
Cavanilles being the same,
