The whole plant is hairy and fmells flightly of Tanfy. 



\t has only five fertile ftamens, as is, we believe, common 

 to mod, if not all, the turnip and tuberous-rooted fpecies. 

 Thefe likewife differ from the caulefcent fpecies, in that the 

 flower-buds do not nod, but rife out of the involucrum ereft 

 before they open. Its feed-veffels are defleQed. It is a ufual 

 circumftance with moil of the genus to have a joint at the 

 bafe of the proper flower-ftalk more remarkable in fome 

 fpecies than in others. We were at firit much ftruck with 

 obferving this joint in our plant to be fituated from one-third 

 to nearly half the fpace between the bafe and the flower j but 

 in the native fpecimen we find this is not the cafe, and are 

 therefore inclined to impute it to the heat of the ftove. In 

 the fame colle6Uon we perceived another Pelargonium, in 

 many refpefts refembling this, with white flowers, but whether 

 it be a diftinQ; fpecies or merely a variety we cannot at 

 prefent determine. 



It is to be treated as one of the tenderer forts.
