U. lobata, Linn. Herbaceous, more or less hairy: lvs. rounded, angled, not divided beyond the middle, cordate, 5-7-lobed, lobes acute or obtuse, about 1-2 x 2-3 in.: fls. pink: carpels densely pubescent, spiny. Tropics of both hemispheres. Very variable. U. stellipila, Lem. Shrubby with a few elongated, fulvous-pilose branches: lvs. distant, rather short-petioled, cuneately ovate-lanceolate, base somewhat cordate, stellate, hairy, coarsely crenulate-dentate: fls. rather large, 1 1/2 in. across, white, in axillary clusters; calyx-segms. lanceolate, acute; petals spatulate.
