NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 
62. Pavonia Cav.'—Calyx 5-fid, 5-dentate, valvate. Corolla (of 
Malvee’) connate at base with stamina] column, truncate at apex or 
5-dentate, bearing filaments outwardly and below; anthers of 
Malvee* Germen 5-locular; cells alternipetalous (or sometimes 
oppositipetalous) ; ovule 1 (of Urena) ; style branches 10 (placed as 
in Urena), apex capitellate stigmatiferous. Carpels 5, separating 
from axis at maturity, apex rotund or truncate, naked at back ; 
cocci sometimes externally covered with mucilage (Lopimia’) ; 
1-3-aristate, naked at back, 1-3-aristate or 1-3-rostrate, sometimes 
reticulate or echinulate, sometimes but more rarely membranous-2- 
winged indehiscent (Leéretonia’) or more or less high 2-valved (Astero- 
chlena’); seeds ascendent.—Shrubs, undershrubs or herbs, glabrescent 
or oftener tomentose or hispid; leaves usually angular or lobed ; 
flowers* pedunculate, sometimes at apices of branchlets shortly race- 
mose or capitate-congested ; bractlets under flower 5, or ™,’ some- 
times distinct, sometimes connate between themselves at base and 
with base of calyx” (4/7 warm regions of the Globe").

3 In P. hastata Cay., we sometimes sec 
flowers at every age 5-androus; staminal leaves 
simple to the end, while in normal flowers they 
finally become compound or lobate, that is poly- 
androus (see Adansonia, ii. 176). For a plant 
(nearly the same) see F. Muezzer (in Hook. 
Journ. viii. 8) under the generic name of Gree- 
vesia (BENTH., Fl. Austral., i. 207.—WALP., 
Ann., vii. 400).
