SECT. III. MALACROIDE^E. Heads of flowers involucrated. 



This section of Sida agrees with Malachra, as it is now consti- 

 tuted. There is much difference of opinion about the character 

 of that genus. According to St. Hilaire, the heads offloivers are 

 involucrated, but the calyx is simple, and the pedicels are brac- 

 teate, with 10 stigmas and 5 separable 2-valved carpels ; there- 

 fore those species, included in that genus, with a double calyx, 

 belong to Pavbnia, such as M. corddta and M. bractedta.

 cose, nearly simple ; leaves erect, linear, cordate at the base, and

 neath ; petioles recurved and jointed at the apex ; leaflets of in- 

 volucel linear ; carpels 8, 2-beaked, wrinkled, and rather muri- 

 cated. tj . S. Native of Brazil in the province of Cisplatine. 

 Flowers red.
