160 PHANEROGAMIA. 



The carpels are barely mucronate-pointed ; and they are represented 

 quite as much so in the figure of Sida floribunda, H. B. K., which 

 must be added to the synonymes adduced by DeCandolle. Sida 

 venusta, Walp. in Rel. Meyen. (excl. syn. Schlecht. ?) must also be the 

 same plant, as it is said to grow around Lima ; and a Peruvian speci- 

 men of S. joaniculata, received from Meyen under the name of Sida 

 atrosanguinea, exists in the Hookerian herbarium.

Sida Dombeyana, DC. Prodr. 1, p. 463 ; Hook. Bot. Misc. 2, p. 209 t. 89. 



Hab. Lima, Peru : common in the bed of the river. Also near 

 Obrajillo. 



This will probably have to be joined to the East Indian Sida 

 humilis. 



10. Sida Javensis, Cav. 



Sida Javensis, Cav. Diss. 1, p. 10, t. 1, f. 5; DC. Prodr. 1, p. 465. 

 S. veronicmfolia, Lam. Diet, ex Zollinger, coll. 



Hab. Near Manilla, Luzon. 



11. Sida cordifolia, Linn. 



Hab. St. Jago, Cape de Yerde Islands. Near Rio Janeiro, Brazil. 



To the synonymes adduced by Webb (Spicilegia Gorgonea) to this 

 species, viz.: S. herbacea, Cav., S. rotundifolia, Cav., S. aliheeifolia, 

 Swartz, and S. Africana, Beauv., that of Sida multiflora, Cav., should 

 doubtless be added. The plant is very widely distributed through 

 the tropics both of the Old and of the New World. From Dr. Pick- 

 ering's notes I am led to infer that it was seen around Lima (where 

 it was also gathered by Matthews) ; but it is not found in the collec- 

 tion.
