This pretty Geranium, from the Cape of Good Hope, is anoiher of thofe which were introduced by 

 G. Hibbert, Efq. in the year 1800, through the medium of Mr. Niven. The root being tuberous, we 

 judge that from a divifion of the fmaller lobes it is to be increafed. From the reflexed character, which 

 pervades the whole plant, petals, leaves, parts of fruSificaiion, &rc. we have adopted our fpecific title. 

 The cultivation is the fame, as for the other tuberous fpecies of this genus. Our figure was made at 

 Clapham in the month of July 1801.
