Indented at their points ■, it has many ftamina which are 
joined in a column at bottom , but fpread open above , and 
are terminated by roundip fummits , and an orbicular ger- 
men, fupporting a jhort multifid Jiyle , crowned by headed 
fiigmas. 'The germen afterward becomes a five-cornered 
capfule having five cells , each containing an angular round - 
ijh feed . 
This genus of plants is ranged in the third feftion of 
Linnaeus’s fixteenth clais, which includes thofe plants 
whofe dowers have their male and female organs join- 
ed in one body, and have many ftamina. To this 
genus he joins the Abutilon of Tournefort, but as 
the fruit of that genus is compofed of many cap- 
fules, and thefe have feveral feeds in each, that cha- 
racter is fufficient to feparate the two genera, which 
may be the more neceffary as there are many fpecies 
of each.
