The upper leaves are broadly ovate, quite entire or obscurely crenated, and perfectly glabrous on both sides.
Involucel 8-9-cleft.
Perhaps Paritium Pernambucense, G. Don, 1. c., does not differ specifically. To this belongs the glabrous
specimen, which we noticed under Paritium tiliaceum, from Bonin, (supra, p. 259) but which we are
now inclined to suspect was misplaced.

In many respects this agrees better with Sida ceratocarpa, H. & A., (which is also an Abutilon,) than
with any other species we know, but the carpels are very different.

Our specimen is so impeitecl that we cannot determine whether it belongs 10 Riedkia or Melochia .- it
does not agree well with De Candolle's deseription of R . serrata, bnt that is the only Mexican species o

As the maiority ot the specimens collected in the expedition were placed along with the Mexican plants,
we insert the species here, not doubting, however, but this took place through rnadvertency. It may, however,
have been cultivated in some garden in Mexico.
