Monf. L’Heritrer, the celebrated French Botanift, who, 
in the number, elegance, and accuracy of his engravings, 
_ appears ambitious of excelling all his cotemporarics, in @ — 
_ work now executing on the family of Geranium, has thought 
it neceffary to divide that numerous genus into threc, Viz 
_ Evodium, Pelargonium, and Geranium. f 
The Evodium includes thofe which Linnevs (who noticing 
_the great difference in their appearance, had made three divi- 
_ fions of them) defcribes with five fertile ftamina, and calls- 
Myrrbina; the Pelargonium thofe with feven fertile ftamina 
his Africana; the Geraxium thofe with ten fertile ftamina, bis 
— Batrachia. | ey os (creer S =
