Kunth describes the leaves of his plant as membranaceous ; in ours they are hard and firm, and almost 
coriaeeous. There are two forms in the collection : one, the male, obtained at Tepic, where most of the 
collection was made, has the leaves cuneate and narrow-oblong : the other, the female, collected at Talisco, 
has oval leaves ; in both they are acute at the base.

This genus has stipules, and rather belongs to the Paronychiacece.

This principally difiers from M. cerviana by having the umbels either sessile or on short peduncles.

1. Malva spicata. Linn. — De Cand. Prod. 1. p. 430 ; Schlecht. in Linn. \ \. p. 350. 
The carpels of the specimen in the collection are covered towards the apex with several white erect bristles, 
but are otherwise glabrous. De Candolle says they are quite glabrous.

We refer to this with doubt, having seen no description : we scarcely know how it differs from ilf. capitata, 
which Schlechtendal also formerly (see Linnsea, 5. p. 227, and 6. p. 422) considered his plant to be.
