This beautiful fpecies of Geranium was raifed by Mr. J. Armfixong, nurferyman of Northwarmborough, 

 Hants, from feeds received by him, in 1~q6, from the Cape of Good Hope. From a branch, in fine 

 flower, brought to us, this year, in the month of June, by Mr. Dickinfon, our drawing was made ; who 

 informs us, that the ordinary treatment of common Geraniums, is all that is required for this; that 

 it is increafed by cuttings, or from a divifion of the root, in fpring. It has not, as yet, produced any 

 perfect feed; although it has flowered abundantly thefe two years, from May till October. It has 

 fomething the habit of G. trifle, or the Night-fmelling Geranium; but differs from that fpecies, in 

 having a fhort Ihrubby ftera, the leaves ihorterand hardier, and the flowers entirely without fmell.
