be other than the same species : at the same time, the leaves, 

 in my specimens, are more obtuse, and all of them, even 

 the older ones, are slightly downy. In the foliage and 

 racemes, our plant agrees with the M. ohtusifolia, Humb. and 

 Kunth,but that is described as having its leaves and branches 

 glabrous. De Candolle well observes of this genus, " species 

 plurimse non satis notae,"

The Abutilon pedimculare of Humb. and Kunth seems to 

 be very nearly allied to the present species, and is perhaps 

 not really distinct from it.
