3. C. alcæoìdes, Gray. Strigose-pubescent; stems slender (1° high), erect from a perennial root; lower leaves triangular-heart-shaped, incised, the upper 5--7-parted, laciniate, the uppermost divided into linear segments; flowers (rose-color or white) corymbose, on slender peduncles--Barren oak-lands, S. Ky. to Kan. and Neb. 4. C. digitàta, Nutt. Sparsely hirsute or glabrous, erect; leaves few, round-cordate, 5--7-parted, the cauline commonly with linear divisions; peduncles subracemose, long, filiform; flowers red-purple to white.--Kan. to Tex. 4. NAPÆ̀A, Clayt. GLADE MALLOW. Calyx naked at the base, 5-toothed. Petals entire. _Flowers diœcious_; the staminate flowers destitute of pistils, with 15--20 anthers; the fertile with a short column of filaments but usually no anthers. Styles 8--10, stigmatic along the inside. Fruit depressed-globular, separating when ripe into as many kidney-shaped 1-seeded beakless and scarcely dehiscent carpels as there are styles. Radicle pointing downward.--A tall roughish perennial herb, with very large 9--11-parted lower leaves, the pointed lobes pinnatifid-cut and toothed, and with small white flowers in panicled clustered corymbs. (Named from νάπη, a glade or dell, or, poetically, a nymph of the glades.) 1. N. diòica, L. Stems nearly simple, 5--9° high.--Penn. to Va., and west to Iowa and Minn.; rare. July. 5. MALVÁSTRUM, Gray. FALSE MALLOW. Calyx with an involucel of 2 or 3 bractlets, or none. Petals notched at the end or entire. Styles 5 or more; stigmas capitate. Carpels as in Malva, or else as in Sida, but the solitary kidney-shaped seed ascending and the radicle pointing downward, as in the former. (Name altered from _Malva_.) 1. M. angústum, Gray. Annual, slightly hairy, erect (6´--1° high); leaves lance-oblong or linear, with scattered fine callous teeth; flowers in the upper axils, on peduncles shorter than the broadly ovate-triangular sepals; bractlets and stipules setaceous; petals yellow, scarcely exceeding the calyx; carpels 5, kidney-shaped, smooth, at length 2-valved.--W.
