Flora of the [no. 6, new series, 



Abelmoschus angulosus, W .A. The involucel is spathiform, and splits 



into 4 leaves, I have however often 

 observed it in 4 leaves from the com- 

 mencement, and never assuming the 

 form of a spathe, I believe it to be 

 the same as Hibiscus tetraphyllus, 

 (Roxb.) which is common in central 

 India.
