158 POPULAR FIELD BOTANY. 
The Linnean class Monadelphia includes only the Gera- 
nium and Mallow tribes, so that it is more easily understood 
than others. The former genus has two divisions, Hrodiwm 
having jive perfect stamens and a bearded seed-vessel or awn, 
and Geranium having ten perfect stamens and a naked awn. 
Eropium cicurarium. (Plate X. Fig. 40.) Hemlock 
Stork’ s-bill. This pretty plant is plentiful in waste ground, 
and flowers all the summer months. The stem is prostrate 
and hairy. Leaves very much divided, each leaflet again 
divided and cut. Flowers in small umbels, purplish, some- 
times white. 
Eropium Moscuatum. Musky Stork’s-bill. This is only 
found (and then rarely) in mountamous pastures, is larger 
than the last; the leaves have much less deeply cut leaflets, 
and yield a powerful smell of musk. 
Eropium maritimum. Sea Stork’s-ill. This is rare 
also, and grows on sandy sea coasts; but it has lately been 
found at Mansfield, Nottimghamhsire, near rocks at the 
entrance to that town. It was in a very small quantity, and 
is now, | fear, eradicated, as the bank has been cut down. 
Its flowers and leaves are exceedingly small.
