are included in the last enumeration of this genus; the 
type of which is pretty generally distributed throughout 
the four quarters of the globe. In the tribe or order are 
comprised trees of the largest size, of some of which the 
trunk is said to be 20 or 30 feet in diameter. 
Stem of the present species round, upright, roughishly 
furred, numerously and roddedly branched. Leaves alter- 
nate, distant, green, roughly and yiscidly furred, veined, 
slightly wrinkled, nearly round, subcordate at the base, 
upper ones 3-lobed, lower 5-lobed, crenately toothed, the 
largest about an inch and a half long, slightly undulated, 
lobes round at the point, lateral ones divergent, middle 
one oblong and further extended; petiole two or three times 
shorter spreading: stipules 2, small, herbaceous, ovately acu- 
minated, ciliated. Peduncles axillary, in pairs, sometimes 
solitary, rarely 2-flowered, filiform, twice longer than the 
petioles or more, bent in an obtuse angle a little below the 
flower, otherwise quite straight, uprightly spreading. Mowers 
nutant, nearly an inch in diameter, of a pale flesh colour, 
marked above the base with 5 radiant crimson spots. Outer 
calyx % shorter than the inner, 3-4-leaved, stellately campa- 
pulate, leaflets narrow linearly subulate slightly channelled 
furred; inner one half fivecleft, stellately furred, twice shal- 
lower or more than the corolla, segments ovately acuminated. 
Corolla campanulately rotate, petals cuneately obcordate, 
not touching at the sides, unguis very shortly furred within. 
Stamineous tube furred below with stellate or pencilled hairs, 
branching and antherbearing above: anthers small, reni- 
form, with shagreened black-red cases. Séyles 12? crimson 
towards the stigmas; stigmas so many terminal glandular 
whitish papillze not much wider than the style.
