278 MEXICO. [Maloacece. 



remotis, bractea ad pedicelli basin filiformi elongata, involucello sub-8-phyllo calycem 

 subduplo superante, foliolis lineari-subulatis calyci fere ad medium usque adhajren- 

 tibus, carpellis inermibus dorso pubescentibus bisulcatis. — An Malvacea, No. 1309, 

 Schlecht. in Linn. 6. p. 423, et \ \. p. 370 ? 



Carpella quinque capsularia bivalvia monosperma dorso inter margines elevatos et carinam sulcata. Co- 

 htmna staminea inclusa, antheris stigmatibusque exsertis. 



I . Malvaviscus Acapulcensis. H. B. K. Nov. Gen. 5. p. 224 ; Schlecht. in Linn. 1 1 . p. 360. 



1. Hibiscus Tampicensis. Moric. PI. Am. p. 7. t. 5 ; Schlecht. in Linn. 11. p. 362. 



1. Paritium Azanza. G. Don, Gen. Syst. Gard. 1. p. 485. 



The upper leaves are broadly ovate, quite entire or obscurely crenated, and perfectly glabrous on both sides. 

 Involucel 8-9-cleft. 



Perhaps Paritium, Pernambucense, G. Don, 1. c., does not differ specifically. To this belongs the gla- 

 brous specimen, which we noticed under Paritium tiliaceum, from Bonin, (supra, p. 259) but which we are 

 now inclined to suspect was misplaced. 



I. Anoda cristata. Schlecht. in Linn. 1 1. p. 210.— Anoda triloba et A. Dilleniana. Cav. 

 — Hab. Talisco. 

 The specimens belong to the form with the carpels very shortly mucronate. 



1. Sida rhombifolia. Linn.? 



2. S. carpinifolia. Linn. ? — Hab. Acapulco. 



The specimens are very imperfect : there are rather large linear-oblong acuminated glabrous stipules at 

 the base of the petioles. 



3. S. filiformis. Moric? 



This specimen also is very imperfect. 



4. S. paniculata. Linn. — Schlecht. in Linn. 11. p. 364. (vix Cav. Diss. 1. t. 12./. 5.) — 

 S. capillaris. Hort. Ber. — Schlecht. in Linn. 6. p. 422. Cav. Let. \.f. 7. ? 



5. S. mens. Linn. 



The leaves are more acuminated than usual. 



1. Abutilon albidum ; foliis longe petiolatis cordato-ovatis acuminatis utrinque tomen- 

 tosis rugosis grosse crenatis, pedunculis axillaribus unifloris petiolo longioribus sub calyce 

 articulatis, laciniis calycinis ovatis paullum acuminatis, carpellis sub-10-truncatis mucro- 

 natis calycem aequantibus hirsutis. — Sida albida. Willd. ? 



Folia acuminata, minime tamen caudato-acuminata, ut in planta Mexicana a Schlechtendalio in LinnEea 1 1, 

 p. 3G9 memorata. 



In many respects this agrees better with Sida ceratocarpa, H. & A., (which is also an Abutilon,) thar; 

 with any other species we know, but the carpels are very different.
