XXIII. PALA V VIA (in honour of Antonio Palau y Verdera, 

 M. D. once professor of botany at Madrid.) Cav. diss. 1. p. 40. 

 Lam. ill. t. 577. D. C. prod. 1. p. 458. 



LIN. SYST. Monadelphia, Polydndria. Calyx naked, 5-cleft. 

 Carpels many, capsular, 1 -seeded, collected into a head without 

 order. This genus differs from Sida as Malope does from 

 Mdlva, and from Malope as Slda does from Mdlva.

 smoothish, prostrate ; leaves sub-lobate, rather cordate ; pedun- 

 cles solitary, about the length of the leaves. O- H. Native 

 of Peru in sand near Lima. Malope parviflora, Lher. stirp. 1. 

 p. 103. t. 50. Palavia declinata, Moench. Flowers small, red. 



Mallow-leaved Palavia. Fl. July, Aug. Clt. 1794. PI.

 tose, erect ; leaves cordate, crenate ; peduncles longer than the 

 leaves. . H. Native of Peru near Lima, in the sand.

Musk-scented Palavia. Fl. Jul. Aug. Clt. 1822. PI. 1 to 2 ft. 



3 P. RHOMBIFOLIA (Graham, in edinb. new phil. journ. July,

 Lima. Flowers large, rose-coloured, with orange-coloured an- 

 thers, on long peduncles in the axils of the upper leaves. Lindl. 

 bot. reg. t. 1375. 



Rhomb-leaved Palavia. Fl. July, Aug. PI. prostrate. 



Cult. These plants are not worth cultivating except in bota- 

 nical gardens. The seeds require to be sown on a hot -bed early 

 in the spring, and the plants should be transplanted into the open 

 border in the month of May, where they will ripen their seeds. 



XXIV. CRISTA'RIA (from crista, a crest, because of the 

 carpels having two crest-like wings in the centre of each,) Cav.

LIN. SYST. Monadelphia, Polydndria. Calyx naked, 5-cleft.

 several 1 -seeded carpels, which have 2 wings in the centre of 

 each. Small plants with the habit of Stda.

 trate ; leaves lobed, cut, downy, glaucous. Tf. ? F. Native of 

 Chili in the sea-sand near the town of Coquimbo. Sida glau- 

 cophylla, Spreng. Petals flesh-coloured, with villous claws.

 tifida, Cav. diss. 1. p. 25. t. 4. f. 2. Sida pterosperma, Lher. 

 stirp. 1. p. 119. t. 57. Flowers white, axillary, solitary, turned

4 C. ? COCCINEA (Pursh. fl. amer. sept. 2. p. 453.) plant beset 

 with hoary tomentum and starry hairs ; leaves 3-5-cleft, with 

 cut acute segments ; racemes terminal ; stem diffuse, prostrate. 

 If. . H. Native of North America on the dry prairies and ex- 

 tensive plains of the Missouri. Sida coccinea, D. C. prod 1 .

Cult. The three first species should be grown in pots in a mix- 

 ture of sand and peat, and in winter they should be .kept in a 

 green-house or a frame. The C. coccinea will only thrive when 

 planted in a border of peat soil, and it is propagated but slowly 

 by dividing the roots, or by seeds. The others may be propa- 

 gated in the same manner. 



XXV. A'NODA (from a priv. and nodus, knot ; given to 

 this genus because the pedicels are without the articulation 

 which is remarked in Slda.) Cav. diss. 1. p. 38. D. C. prod. 

 1. p. 458.
