Pelargonium. | GERANIACE® (Harv.) 267 
Known by, its leaves and especially by the taper-pointed, almost awned calyx seg- 
ments, and the very long, narrow petals, which are thriceas long as the calyx lobes. 
Flowers white. Umbels pluvidowered with subulate bracts. 
[Triphylious Hoarese unknown to me.]

neiform, three-toothed at the summit ; umbel simple.” Burm. Afr. t. 
35. f. 2. Ger. trifidum, Cav. Diss. t. 11 5. f. 1. Flowers blood-red. 
*** Leaves either pinnatifid, or pinnately parted, or pinnatisect ; or with simple and 
pinnatifid leaves on the same root. (Sp. 25-42). 
25. P. barbatum (Jacq. Ic. Rar. t. 513); leaves petiolate, decom- 
pound-pinnatifid, the lacinie laxly set, erecto-patent, narrow-linear 3-4- 
fid or pinnatifid, the margins often inflexed, and the apices tipped 
with 3-4 bristles ; scapes branching ; calyx tomentose-villous, the seg-

}_ I fear this is only a var. of P. longifolium, with constantly multipartite leaves. 
There is no difference in the flower, and the pubescence can scarcely be depended on. 
The present is sometimes nearly glabrous, sometimes densely pubescent. Some of 
Drege’s specimens, marked “ fecketums? belong to our plant, others to what ap- 
pear a different species. P. penneformis, E. & Z.! 477 (Herb. Sond.) is much larger, 
with broader and flatter leaf-segments, and white, or cream- -coloured flowers, want- 
ing the dark spot ; it may be a distinct species.
