Malvastrum capense, Garcke (Malva capensis, Linn.). Shrubby and branchy, slightly viscid: lvs. ovate-oblong, somewhat 3-lobed and angled, unequally toothed: fls. 1-2 on axillary peduncles, purple; involucel variable in size, the bracts lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate and shorter than the ciliate calyx-lobes: carpels glabrous. S. Afr.— Offered abroad and also in S. Calif. Var. Lindemuthii, Hort., said to be a graft-variety procured by working M. capense on Abutilon Thompsonii: lvs. 3-lobed, yellow-variegated: fls. small, rose-red shaded violet. See also Kitaibelia Lindemuthii, p. 1738. It is doubtful whether M. capense is in cult.; the plants passing under this name may be M. hypomadarum.
