PrLarconium Scuorru, Hort. 
This plant, cultivated at Kew and in Mr. W. Wilson 
Saunders’ rich collection, was received from the Continent 
under the name of Pelargonium Schottit without any authen- 
tic record of its origin and pedigree. It has near relations, 
either in inflorescence or foliage, with several old garden 
forms, but perhaps more nearly with P. Cherophyllum of 
Sweet (Geran. tab. 257) than with any other. P. Chero- 
phyllum was a hybrid raised in 1822 from P. fulgidum fertilised 
by the pollen of P. sanguineum. : 
Descr. Stem succulent, branched, twelve to eighteen inches 
high, somewhat shrubby at the base, densely covered, as are 
all other parts except the petals, with soft white spreading 
hairs. eaves scattered, on petioles four to ten inches long, 
pale bright green and flaccid, blade pinnately three- to seven- 
foliolate, lobes or pinnules all much cut and lobulate with waved 
and crisped broadly and acutely toothed margins; lateral 
leaflets one to two inches long, obliquely cuneate, sessile; ter- 
minal three-lobed, often three inches broad. Stipu/es broad,
