This agrees with the figure above quoted in all but the presence of glands on the underside of the 
primary nerves of the leaf; but Dr. Hamilton in Linn. Trans, v. 13. p. 492, states it as his opinion, that such 
a character is not to be depended on; and that that derived even from the dm’ation of the stem is of no con- 
sequence. This belongs to his G. nignart, “ lana alba, semine nigricante,” which includes the G. Barbadense 
of Liim.

1. Melochia hispida ; tota hispida, foliis inaequilateris cordato-ovatis duplicato-serratis 
utriuque pilis stellatis subtus pallidis, umbellis 6-8-floris axillaribus petiolum subaequantibus. 
The hairs on the stem, petiole, and peduncles, are long, spreading, and simple, though occasionally mixed 
with others that are shorter and stellated. Those on the leaves are altogether of the latter kind. Towards 
the apex of the petiole the haws are short and much crowded, and of a yellow colour; and this portion falls 
off' with the leaf. The calyx is glabrous, except on the margin of the segments and the line marldng the 
union of the sepals, where the haws are very long. We have been obliged to di’aw up oiw description from 
a solitary and indifferent specinaen.

1. Triumfetta procumbens ; prostrata, caule pubescenti-tomentoso, foliis cordato-rotun- 
datis subintegris trilobisve obtusissimis crenatis supra glabriusculis subtus stellato-pannosis, 
petalis calyce tomentoso vix longioribus, carpellis arete coalitis in capsulam globosam, setis 
muricatis plumosis. — “ Forst. Prodr. n. 204.” De Cand. Prodr. v. 1. p. 508. 
This plant, which n e take to be the T. procumbens of Forster, has petals to the flower as weU as united 
(aqxels, whence it cannot belong to either of the divisions of the genus in De CandoUe’s Prodi-omus. The 
united fruit is nearly as large as an hasel nut, covered with rigid and hairy or plumose bristles. ( Sec. descr.
