Order 20. Malvacece. 29 



hairy, forming a top-shaped fruit rising in the centre. Petdri, 

 madmi, Karandi. 



3. A. mnticum (A. tomentosum, D.). Hairy, leaves round, 

 cordate not lobed, slightly serrated, flowers large, carpels kidney- 

 shaped, very hairy, forming a nearly round fruit with a depres- 

 sion at the top. Kasili, Karandi. 



These two species grow in similar places in the Deccan, and are 

 common. They have a great general resemblance, but the fruit 

 sufficiently distinguishes them. The latter is the larger plant, and 

 not so grey as the former, which is much more widely distributed 

 over India. The capsules are called Mudrd, from their resemblance 

 to a seal. DymocTc. 



D. had at Cambay * A. racemosum (A. sidoides, D.) with white bark, 

 acutely lobed leaves, and very small yellow flowers, carpels glutinous, 

 2-beaked, 3-seeded. 



4. MALACHRA. 



M. rotundfolia. A hairy plant with rough round leaves 

 slightly angled or lobed ; flowers small yellow, short stalked, 

 fruit roundish. 



This is supposed to be a foreigner, but it is common about Bom- 

 bay, and said to be so in many parts of India. It certainly was not 

 introduced for its beauty. 



5. UEENA. 



1. U. lobata. Herbaceous, more or less hairy, leaves rounded 

 with 3 or more lobes, flowers pink 2 or 3 together, involucre 

 segments linear or lanceolate as long as the calyx, fruit of 5 

 carpels, roundish, covered with soft hooked bristles. Wan- 

 bhendi. 



2. U. sinuata. Like the last but shrubby, leaves downy, 

 deeply lobed or pinnatifid j flowers larger and pretty. Lichi, 

 rdm^kdpshi. 



These two species are both common, and both said by H. to be 

 widely distributed over India, and very variable. D.'s U.scabrinscula, 

 is by H. made a variety of U". lobata. 



6. PAVONIA. 



* P. zeylanica. An erect shrub, much branched, glandular 

 and hairy, leaves deeply lobed, flowers solitary, middle-sized, 

 whitish, bracts 8 to 10 linear, carpels oblong, 3-sided, sharply 

 winged. 



Near Gogo (D.). 



Two others are given from Cutch by General Palin. * P. glechomi- 

 folia, a rigid procumbent plant, leaves somewhat 3-lobed, crenate, 

 flower s yellow, carpels 5, warty. * P. odorata. Erect, sticky, leaves
