{fs A tall, weak-stemmed, half-herbaceous species, with a rather succulent stem and 
much divided, clammy, balsam-scented, sharply toothed leaves. By these charac- 
te ters, and its smoothness, it is known from P. Radula, which is sometimes mistaken 
He for it. Flowers lilac or purple-rosy, with dark streaks on the indented or 2-lobed 
He upper petals. 
161. P. jatropefolium (DC.) “leaves palmati-partite, viscid, gla- 
brous, the lobes lanceolate-linear, pinnatifid, the lobules toothed, dis- 
tant, acuminate ; umbels 4-flowered ; calyx-tube very short ; upper pe- 
tals obtuse.” DC. Prod: 1. p. 679. “ Intermediate,” according to De 
Candolle, “ between P. denticulatum and P. quercifolium.” 
162.P. delphinifolium (Willd. En. 708) ; “leaves scabrous, palmately 
5-lobed, the lobes oblong, serrated, the medial 3-lobed ; umbels few- 
/ flowered, compound ; calyx-tube longer than the pedicel.” DC. l. ¢. p-

brous, leaves bi-pinnatifid; panicle dichotomous, hardening and be- 
coming spinous after flowering [spinoso-lignescente].” DC. l. c. p. 682.

[Little known and doubtful species, and all of the ephemeral, garden Pelargonia are 
here omitted. Nearly 200 of them are characterised in De Candolle’s “ Prodromus,’ 
Vol. 1. Many more may be found in Sweet’s “Geraniacew” (5 vols. 500 coloured 
plates) ; and in other works on gardens and gardening. We see no necessity for 
burdening our pages with these truly “ trivial” names : ee
