1. Linum Schiedeanum (Schl. et Cham.) ; glabrum gracile adscendens suffruticosum, 

 foliis quaternis verticillatis vel superioribus oppositis, obovato- vel lineari-lanceolatis basi 

 attenuates, floribus cymosis, bracteas sepalisque glanduloso-ciliatis, floribus flavis. — Ch. 

 et Schl. in Linncea, V. p. 234. 



Hab. San Bias to Tepic. 



Ord. VII. MALVACEAE. Juss. 



1. Pavonia Mexicana, H.B.K.? 

 Hab. Acapulco. 



Of our plant there is but one specimen, which has a decidedly shrubby stem, and the leaves are cordato- 

 ovate, and acuminated, in which two points it differs widely from Kunth's description. It can scarcely be 

 his P. mollis. 



1 . Gossypium Barbadense, L. ? 

 Hab. San Bias to Tepic. 



None of the described varieties of Cotton agree precisely with the one before us. The stem is almost 

 glabrous, purplish, woody and dotted with black points ; leaves glabrous, dotted, cordato-ovate, entire or 

 three-lobed, the lobes broadly ovate and acuminated ; middle nerve with a gland a little above the base, 

 leaves of the involucel laciniate, glabrous. The fruit, seeds and wool, we have not seen. 



1. Anoda hastata, Cav Schlecht. in Linncea, XI. p. 214. — Sida centrota, Spr. 



Hab. Tepic to San Bias ; and Acapulco. 



2. A. lanceolata ; foliis oblongo-lanceolatis acuminatis crenatis nunc ad medium 

 utrinque unidentatis subtus velutinis supra scabridis, pedunculis folium asquantibus caly- 

 ceque scabro-velutinis, sepalis floriferis ovatis obtusis fructiferis in acumen obtusiusculum 

 margine involutum attenuatis, corolla (flava?) 9 lin. longa calycem triplo superante, 

 fructu e carpidiis sub-10 brevissime mucronatis composito. 



Hab. Tepic to San Bias. 



1. Sida rhomboidea, Roxb.—h. obliqua, Flor. Mex. ined.f 

 Hab. Tepic to San Bias. 



This differs principally from 5. rhombifolia by the carpels being awnless or at most two-toothed, and 

 certainly not birostrate. 



2. S. carpinifolia, L. — var. carpellis bidentatis haud birostratis. 

 Hab. Tepic to San Bias. 



We may here remark that 6'. curjriiwides DC, referred by some as a variety to .S 1 . carpinifolia, is 

 Malva tricuspidata, Ait.
