Napaea (name refers to a glade or dell). Malvaceae. One species, N. dioica, Linn., a rough-pubescent perennial herb, 5-9 ft. high, st. nearly simple, growing in valleys and bottom-lands, Pa. to Minn, and Tenn., said to be sometimes cult. for ornament. The fls. are small, white, in terminal corymbs, dioecious, the staminate with 15-20 anthers and the fertile with sterile stamens and an 8-10-carpelled ovary; petals entire: calyx 5-toothed and no involucel: lvs. large, the radical ones often 1 ft. or more across, palmately 9-11-cleft and the lobes pinnatifid. This plant is not to be confounded with Sida Napaea (or properly S. hermaphrodita), of similar range and habit and said also to be cult. in old gardens, but which has hermaphrodite fls. See Sida.
