146° NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 
48. Anoda Cav.'—Calyx 5-fid, and corolla of Sida ; apex of staminal 
column divided into © filaments. Germen o-locular; 1 ascending 
ovule-in each cell; micropyle introrse superior; style branches 
equal in number to cells, filiform ; apex truncate stigmatiferous, not 
thickened or capitate. Carpels , wide stellate-verticillate, eros- 
trate, separating from axis at maturity ; laterally opened by disap- 
pearance of septa; seed ascendent or subhorizontal, more rarely 
subdescendent.—Glabrous or hispid herbs ;? leaves entire hastate- 
3-lobed or rarely dissected; flowers’ pedunculate, axillary, soli- 
tary, or in terminal racemes, involucel 0 (Warm America’). 
49. Cristaria Cav..—Flowers nearly of <Axnoda, ecalyculate ; 
carpels 0 membranous or coriaceous at maturity, apex produced in 
double erect connivent wings, separating from the axis, dorsally 
2-valved, laterally closed or more rarely opened by disappearance 
of septa. Germen o locular; 1 ovule in each cell descendent 
or subhorizontal; seeds and other characters of Anxoda.—Herbs 
usually prostrate tomentose; leaves angular, lobed or dissected ; 
flowers’ axillary, solitary, or in terminal racemes (South Lvtra- Trop. 
America). 
50. Hoheria A. Cunn.*—Calyx cyathiform, 5 dentate valvate. 
Corolla of Sida. Staminal column 5-adelphous, apex finally divided 
into o filaments. Germen 5-locular?; 1 descending ovule in 
each cell; micropyle introrse superior ; style branches 5, filiform, 
peltate stigmatiferous at apex. Carpels indehiscent, dorsal wing 
longitudinally simply tufted, separating from axis at maturity; seed 
descendent or rarely subhorizontal.—A subglabrous small tree ; leaves
