This fine variety of the Spatula-leaved Geranium is, as yet, only to be found, in the Hibbertian col- 
kaion. Its date in Britain is the fame as the G. fpathulatum, of this work, plate 152, Vol. III. We 
ihould not have confidcrcd the curbed charaaer of the petals, alone, a fufficient groundwork to con- 
ftitute, even a variety; but the flight fringe which may be difcovered on the leaves of our prefent 
plant, and not in the froalleft degree to be traced in the other, determined this to be, in our opinion, 
defcrving notice, at leaft as a variety. For the treatment and culture of the plant, fee G. pundatum 
of the Botanift’s Repofilory, plate 6o, Vol. I. which may well ferve for this.
