MR. DRUMMOND’S COLLECTIONS. 
foot in diameter. Petioles about as long 
as the leaves. Stipules linear, recurved, 
acute. Peduncles axillary, solitary, one- 
flowered, scarcely so long as the petioles, 
jointed a little below the calyx. Calyx, 
five-cleft, persistent, without any involucel: 
segments ovate, with a rather long acumi- 
nation, with a nerve along the middle. 
Corolla yellow, dark purple at the bottom, 
rotate; limb at length recurved or even re- 
flexed; petals broadly obovate, or slightly 
obcordate, twisted in æstivation. Stamens 
numerous, united below into a tube, free 
in their upper half. Anthers reniform, one- 
celled. Ovary 25—30-celled, with three 
ovules in each cell. Styles 25—30, united 
in their lower half, free, and spreading 
above, filiform. Stigma capitate. Cap- 
sule hairy, composed of 25—30. Carpels 
or cocci, truncated, each carpel a little 
acute but not awned, two-valved, splitting 
elastically, containing three seeds. 
It is probable that this, A. hirtum, G. 
Don, (Sida hirta, Lam.) A. Asiaticum, 
G. Don, (Sida Asiatica, Linn.,) and A 
Indica, G. Don, (Sida Indica, Linn. ,) may 
prove, on further examination, to be mere 
varieties of one and the same species: they 
seem, indeed, to pass, by insensible grada- 
tions, into each other. W. and A
