CENT. I. 19 



Blended by Rohr. with the last as varieties of

 and seeds than last, but same fine flowers. 



64. Gossypium (Lanig.) rohrianum Raf. 29 

 Rohr. sem. tomentosa, glomerata, byssus tenax. 

 Portorico, similar to G. guyanensis in every 

 respect except the wooly seeds and shorter sta- 

 ple hard to pick. 



There are besides many other kinds of cotton 

 slightly indicated by various writers, but not 

 described; two of them deserve to be acquired 

 and studied. 



65. Gossypium aureum Raf. Golden Cotton 

 of Dahomey in Africa, of a fine yellow color, 



66. Gossypium nankin Raf, the fine pale 

 nankin Cotton of China different from all others.

 plura in pulpa. Arbor, fol. oppos. ft. pedic.
