Summary Type specimens of six names published by Colla in 1833, which were collected by Martius in Brazil, were examined. These names have been either ignored or treated as “insufficiently known” in the literature of the family Malvaceae. One of the six names, Sida tomentosa Martius ex Colla, remains a nomen dubium. Four of the names were found to be the correct names of the species in question ( Pavonia lanceolata Colla, Pavonia martii Colla, Sida nemorensis Martius ex Colla, and Sida setosa Martius ex Colla). One name ( Hibiscus anonimus Martius ex Colla) is reduced to synonymy under Pavonia cancellata (Linn, f.) Cavanilles. A description and illustration are provided for Pavonia lanceolata .
