Of this well-known green-house shrub, “ the oak-leaf Geranium,” I have seen no 
wild specimens, but those distributed by £. &Z./ In cultivation the leaves are 
marked with a dark, purplish spot, and are disagreeably scented. Flowers purple 
or pink. P. panduriforme, E. & Z., is more tomentose than usual ; the leaves canes- 
cent on the underside, and the smaller ones fiddle-shaped. :
