Distinguished by the numerous monaddphous stamens (i. e. united by their filaments into a tube or column), with kidney-shaped one-celled anthers, and the five sepals or lobes of the calyx applied edge to edge without overlapping (i. e. valvate) in the bud, and persistent. Leaves almost always palmately-veined, alternate, with stipules. Petals united at the bot- tom with the tube of stamens. There is often a sort of outer calyx, below the true one, called an involucel. All innocent plants, full of mucilage (it is extracted from the root of Marsh-Mallow), and with a very tough fibrous inner bark. Flowers often handsome. Anthers all at the top of the column of united filaments (Fig. 317). Involucel or outer calyx present. Cells of the fruit many in a ring, separating whole when ripe, one-seeded. Involucel 9-parted. Separated little pods margiuless. Plant soft-downy: root pe- rennial, {AlClma) Maksh-Mallow. Involucel about 6-parted. Separated pods with membranaceous margins. Plants : root biennial. Flowers lar
