Abstract
Three genera are segregated out ofSida as natural units,viz. Sidastrum E. G. Baker, enlarged from one species to seven,Krapovickasia nom. nov. including four species, andRhynchosida gen. nov. including two species, one described as new from Bolivia,R. kearneyi. Mericarp and calyx morphology are emphasized in delimiting these genera and in defining the residual genusSida, which now assumes a more natural character.
