veins. Stamens and Pistills black. Filaments and Styles 
very hairy. Stigmas long, filiform, smooth, revolute. 
A showy species, not inferior.in beauty to G. Ibericum. 
Native of Gosainsthan, one of the snowy peaks of the Hima- 
laya or Emodus, the loftiest chain of the Nepalese Alps, 
which may be justly regarded as the Cordilleras of the ancient 
continent. It has been raised in several of the collections 
in the vicinity of the metropolis from seeds sent by Dr. 
Watticu, by whose collectors it was first athercil It 
appearsto be perfectly hardy, and promises to bea valuable 
acquisition to our flower borders. I have been induced, 
from an examination of recent specimens, to make some 
little alteration in the specific definition given by me in 
Mr. Sweer’s Geraniacee. The form of the stipules is an 
important character in this tribe of vegetables. Don. 
e are indebted for the above account of this interesting 
species to Mr. Davin Don. Our drawing was made from 
a specimen, communicated by our friend ALEXANDER 
Mactray, Esq. secretary to the Linnean Society, who 
raised it in his garden at Tilbuster Lodge, near Godstone, 
from seeds sent him by Dr. Wituicu.
