3-13-29 Hibiscus mutabilis, L. (See 2-26-27 n. Rhet.-Middle R's So Pl -- --- for Malvaceae.) 3-13-29 apex is evidently the same differing only as follows: lvs from 3in to 4 3/4 in broad, stump, somewhat shorter. The radiating veins, esp. the 5 central ones, very visible above as well as below. If 3-5 lobed with shallow sinuses, ireg crenate. Petals sometimes but not always meet blade at 1. Stary pubescence marked, & the longer interspersal hairs are yellow. Inflos peniculate, the lower branches in axils lvs (now fallen). Bracts 2-3 in. Capsule almost spherical 1/2 in high by a trifle wider. Remains at base of (2) bract involute? v (b) gamosepalous cauld calyx. Seed 3 1/2 mm long, funiculus remains attached to seed & can be separated from it. Cot Each cell 7-12 seeded with sugar remains & note maturing ovules. Capsules loculicidally & deliquescent the above at the same time falling away from a short central axis (about 1/3 length of capsule) so that they remain attached only at base & often fall. 2-15-29 from same plants as 2-26-27 Fr. Calyx 1 1/4 in deep cut into 5 rve lobes 1 in deep, so 5 veined. Bracts 1 involute 1/2 in long, linear. No more than 3 seen in any case (Do it provide short labled n called Changable Rae St. George Public's Gardens is this?) * 3-1-29 Miss Hutelings says this is "Chang- able Rse" hence doubtless it is Hibiscus mutabilis L. p.p.38.
