_ Cavanittes inferted this plant upon the authority of a draw- 
ing executed by Tournerort himfelf, now in the poffeflion 
of Jussreu. Since Tournerort’s time we doubt if this Ge- 
ranium has been fubmitted to the eyes of any Botanift, till it 
was difcovered on the Iberian fide of Mount Caucafus, by 
M. Birsersrein, and publifhed in his Flora Taurico- Caucajica, 
a very interefting work, in two volumes oftavo, but which has 
not we believe as yet found its way to this country, except a 
fingle copy, the property of Mr. SracKHOUSE. 
_ Accordingto BieBERSTEIN the middle lobule, much fmaller 
in our plant than in CavANILLE’s figure, is fometimes entirely 
wanting, Our drawing was made at Mefirs. Wxittey and 
Brame’s Nurfery, now removing from Old-Brompton to Ful- 
ham, where thefe {pirited cultivators of rare and valuable plants 
ave taken the extenfive premifes late in the poffeffion of 
t.Burcnex. Flowers in June, and is fuppofed to be hardy 
enough to bear our winters without protection,
