Kitaibelia (Paul Kitaibel, 1757-1817, of the botanic gardens at Pesth). Malvaceae. One garden species from the S. Danube region, planted in the open, K. vitifolia, Willd. Hardy robust perennial herb, to 8 ft., allied to Malope: lvs. angled or 5-lobed, toothed: fls. white or rose, showy, sometimes many and sometimes solitary in the axils; involucre surpassing the calyx, the bracts connate at base and 6-9-parted; calyx 5-parted; petals 5, obovate, narrowed almost to a claw; staminal column divided at apex into many filaments; ovary many-celled, the carpels becoming congested into a head, dehiscent. It is a plant somewhat on the order of abutilon, with vine-like or maple- like lvs. It thrives in any usual garden soil, and is said to be good for naturalizing in the shrub plantations and elsewhere; prop, by division or by seeds. B.M. 821. K. baldnaae, Boiss., is a second species very like K. vitifolia, but the lvs. deeply 5-lobed, stipules ovate, the bracts of involucre much exceeding calyx and oblong-lanceolate and cohering or grown together at base. Cilicia.—K. Lindemuthii, Hort., is a graft-hybrid, produced by grafting K. vitifolia on Abutilon Thompsonii. Lvs. variegated or marbled as in the abutilon stock: plant 6-8 ft. Named for H. Lindemuth, of Berlin, its rarer. L. H. B.
