Mandon's No. 822 may perhaps be referred to the same spe- 

 cies. In Bull. Soc. Bot France, xii. ?>2, this is, however, alluded 

 to as Abiitilon nudijloriim, and Sida virgata, Cav. is given as a 

 synonym ; I am quite satisfied, however, that neither Mandon's 

 nor Rusby 's specimens can belong in that species, whatever else 

 it may be.
