Dr. Harvey speaks of it as a very handsome species, with the 

 flowers of P. 8ckizopetahtm y dmatymdicum, and Gaffrum, but 



differing from all these remarkably in foliage. It certainly is a 

 graceful and elegant plant, both as to foliage and in the struc- 

 ture of the flowers; but there is an absence of brilliant colour 

 in the latter, which renders so many other Cape Pelargonia 

 attractive to cultivators. 



Descr. Tubers large, oblong or egg-shaped or subrotinid, 

 solitary, or produced two to three, one above the other. Stem 

 very short. Lea res subradical, with lanceolate scales or stipules, 

 compoundly pinnate, slightly patenti-subsericeons, the segments 

 or pinna linear acute. Petioles and main rachis terete, patenti- 

 pilose. Scape a foot or more high, terete, patenti-piloee. 

 Flowers in a rather large, spreading, terminal umoel, bracteated 

 at the base of the pedicels, of a yellowish colour, tinged with 

 purple. Calyx with the sepals relieved. Two npper petals ob- 

 long, laciniated or fringed chiefly at the apex, three lower ones 

 cuneate, much more deeply and compoundly laciniated.
