CONTRIBUTIONS TO BOTANY.

I have placed here provisionally the plant from Honimon, 
which is probably a distinct species, differing in its more hirsute, 
larger, more deeply peltate leaves upon longer petioles, and in 
its dichotomous ^ panicles, the flowers having a campanulate 
petal, pilose outside, half the length of the spathulate, broadly 
oblong sepals : its subdeltoid leaves are 4 inches long, 4-4| 
inches broad, with a shallow wide basal sinus 2 lines deep, on a 
somewhat retrorsely pubescent slender petiole, 3^ inches long, 
inserted 6-8 lines within the margin of the basal sinus : the 
axillary panicles have a peduncle 8 lines long, with dichotomous 
branches 3 lines long, and a short pedicel in each sinus of the 
ratnifications ; the floriferous axillary raceme which accompanies 
them is 2^ inches long, with leaf-like bracts 3 lines in diameter, 
and panicles at the origin of each bract | inch long.

This species is distinguished from all the peltate species by 
its deltoid-orbicular leaves, which are more or less obtuse at 
their summit, and are borne upon very long and slender petioles.
