This plant I had sorted into Malvastrum in provisionally working 
up the Burchell Herbarium. Mr. Edmund Baker, in his revision of the 
Malvee for his ‘Syn nopsis,’ now in course of publication, recognised 
the probable identity of the Brazilian plant with that from Panama 
diate between Sida and Malvastrum. On comparing our specimens, 
however, with the description of Sida guianensis of chumann, I 
mao Aad the identity of oc ibn with that Slack: ‘and find this 
rmed by inspection of Glzziou’s specimen cited by Dr. hic 
npparently had not been oosible to Mr. Baker. I think it prudent 
eave it in Sida. I need not here enter upon the morphological 
ans of the subulate ‘bracts and bracteoles’ associated with the 
gested flowers. The coherent ‘ bracteoles ’ rgd ‘aed are the 
iiiraleuta of the often 2- or 3-fid stipnles.—D. O11
