ResumoThe family Malvaceae offers many problems to the taxonomists. Opinions differ widely as to where to draw the line between species, between genera, antd between tribes. Even definition of the family in the order Malvales is a disputed question. For example, the Bombacaceae were regarded by Bentham and Hooker (6 p. 198) as a tribe (or suborder) of the Malvaceae, whereas K. Schumann (73 p. 202; 74 p. 53) treated them as a separate family. Schumann retained Tribe Hibisceae of Bentham and Hooker in the Malvaceae, but Edlin (13 p. 126) transferred this tribe, together with the genus Kydia, to the Bombacaceae, as Trik-es Hibisceae and Kydiae, respectively.
