The number of glands, the pubescence, and shape of the leaves, vary on 
the same specimen, so that the above distinctions between the varieties are 
not very constant, and depend perhaps more upon age. The deeper cut 
leaves principally distinguish this from U. Americana, with which U. sinuata, 
Sw., and U. paradoxa, H.B. K., are surely the same. 
IV. PAVONIA. Cav.; Lam. ill. t. 585. 
Calyx 5-cleft, persistent, surrounded by a 5-15-leaved involucel. Ovarium 
"with 5, or rarely 4, 1-ovuled cells. Style 1, 8-10-cleft at the apex. Stigmas 
8-10. Carpels 5, or rarely 4, capsular, connivent, 2-valved, 1-seeded. Ra- 
dicle inferior. 
169. (1) P. odorata (Willd.:) stems herbaceous, viscidly hairy: leaves 
cordate, roundish ovate, lower ones sometimes entire ; upper ones with three 
short acute lobes, toothed, more or less hairy and viscid: pedicels axillary, 
1-flowered, somewhat racemose at the top of the stem and of the short 
axillary branches: leaves of the involucel about 12, ciliated, longer than e 
calyx: carpels not prickly.—DC. prod. 1. p. 444; Spr. syst. 3. p. 995 Wall.!

170. (2) P. Zeylanica (Cav.:) lower leaves somewhat roundish-cordate, 
crenated ; upper ones deeply 3-5-lobed, coarsely toothed: pedicels axillary, 
1-flowered: leaves of the involucel 10, ciliated, longer than the calyx: car-

V. LEBRETONIA. Schrank. 
Calyx 5-partite, surrounded by a 5-partite involucel of about the same 
length. Petals 5, the part protruded beyond the calyx with a twisted estiva- 
. tion; limb spreading. Styles 5, each bipartite. Stigmas 10. Carpels 5, or 
4 by abortion, unarmed, 1-seeded, indehiscent. 
Closely allied to Pavonia, but with carpels as in Malva. 
171. (1) L. procumbens (Wight:) procumbent, more or less pubescent : 
leaves M parm db ws ie lobes or angles, the middle one 
the longest, between crenated and serrated : pedicels axillary, solitary, Siegel 
ered, about as long as the leaf: corolla (yellow) 2-3 times longer than = 
;Qvate-leaved involucel: carpels prominently reticulated and wrinkled on the 
back.—Wall.! L. n. 2688 ; Wight. cat. n. 173.—Pluk. t. 352. f. 5 (good.) 
Dr Wallich doubts if this and his L. flava be distinct: we are not ac- 
quamted with that species.
