I have every reason to imagine this will form a new genus; 

 its essential character being, I think, very distinct from any 

 of those hitherto described; nor do I helieve it was known 

 to Dr. Koniff, for I have never met with it but amonost the 

 Circar mountains, where he never was. 



It delights in such soil as is ge;erally found on the banks 

 of rivulets, water -courses, &c. where it grows to be a tree of 

 a middling^ size. Floweriu": time the cold season. 



Trunk straight; bark ash coloured. Head large, spread- 

 ing, very ramous ; yoinif/ shoots c(>vered with a brown mealy 

 dust. Leaves alternate, petioied, broad cordate more or 

 less from three to five-angled, irregularly-dentate, from three 

 to five-nerved ; both sides downy ; there are also small tufts 

 of stellate hairs dispersed over both sides, together with a 

 farinaceous dust ; from three to six inches each way ; on the 

 middle nerve a little below the middle, and sometimes also 

 on the two next to it is an oblong, hollow, yellow gland. 

 Petioles round, from two to three inches long, covered with 

 brown farina. Panicles terminal, lari>e. "lobular, crowded, 

 many-flowered. /^lowers nunjerous, middle-sized, pure 

 white, collected in small um])ellets, many of which make a 

 panicle. Bractes small, rust-coloured, downy. Pedicels
