Mandon’s No. 822 may perhaps be referred to the same spe¬ 
cies. In Bull. Soc. Bot. France, xii. 82, this is, however, alluded 
to as Abutilon nudiflorum , and Sida virgata , Cav. is given as a 
synonym; I am quite satisfied, however, that neither Mandon’s 
nor Rusby’s specimens can belong in that species, whatever else 
it may be.
