Morton has pointed out (in Rhodora 89 (1987) 98) 
that Linnaeus confused two species, the small-flowered 
Malva pusilla and the large-flowered M. rotundifolia, 
under his Malva rotundifolia. ‘The plant Linnaeus ap- 
parently had in mind, which is represented by a specimen 
in his herbarium, is the small-flowered species which has 
been passing as M. pusilla, but which now must bear the 
name M. rotundifolia. The larger-flowered species, com- 
monly known as Cheeses, becomes M. neglecta.

Stizolobium pruriens Medik., and Mucuna pruriens DC. 
were based, applies to a Philippine and East Indian spe- 
cies, distinct from the cowage of India, now widespread 
in the tropics. ‘This latter species is Mucuna pruritum
