MALVACEAE 



357 



(1759) 134, Syst. ed. 10 (1759) 1145, where it manifestly does 

 not belong. 



SIDA CORDIFOLIA Linn. Sp. PL (1753) 684. 



Abutilon montanum Rumph. Herb. Amb. 4: 32. 



This species is not represented in our Amboina collections, 

 but Rel. Robins. 2512, from Boeleleng, Bali, is a form of this 

 common and widely distributed species. The reduction of Abu- 

 tilon montanum to Sida cordifolia follows Hasskarl, Neue Schlus- 

 sel (1866) 73, and is almost certainly the correct disposition 

 of it. 



The form from the Cape of Good Hope, indicated by Rumphius, 

 1. c, as Abutilon montanum e Capite bonae spei, suggested by Hasskarl, 

 Neue Schlussel (1866) 73, as possibly Sida triloba Cav. or S. 

 sonneratiana Cav. = Abutilon sonneratianum Sweet, may be iden- 

 tifiable from a study of the South African Malvaceae in Sida, 

 Abutilon, and other allied genera. It may be one of the species 

 that Hasskarl has indicated, but again it may be quite different 

 from both of these. 



SIDA spp.? 



Sigalurium rotundum silvestre Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 45. 

 Sigalurium III album Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 45. 



The descriptions are too indefinite to warrant accurate de- 

 termination of these two forms. Hasskarl, Neue Schlussel 

 (1866) 160, suggests that the former may be Sida carpinoides 

 ~DC.=Malvastrum coromandelianum (Linn.) Garcke (M. tricus- 

 pidatum G. Gray) and that the latter may be Sida alba Linn., 

 but both of these suggested determinations are probably wrong. 



URENA Linnaeus 



URENA LOBATA Linn. Sp. PL (1753) 692. 



Lappago amboinica Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 59, t. 25, f. 2. 

 Amboina, Caju poeti, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. 4.95, August 2, 1913, 

 roadsides, etc., up to an altitude of 350 meters. 



So far as the Rumphian figure and description go, Urena lobata 

 includes the forms described as I laciniata and II latifolia, while 

 III silvestris and the drawings of the attached flowers are Trium- 

 fetta bartramia Linn, (see p. 354). The descriptions quoted 

 above and the figure, excepting the flowers, are unmistakably 

 Urena lobata Linn. On account of the mixture of two entirely 

 different species in the drawing, the plate has by some been cited 

 under Triumfetta, by others under Urena. The plate and de- 

 scription, for the most part, are Urena lobata Linn., although 

 originally reduced by Linnaeus, in Stickman Herb. Amb. (1754)
