^■■J 



This very handfome variety of the ragged-leaved geranium, is but little different from the purple- 

 flowered Var. figured No. CCIV. of this work. Vol. Ill, except in the colour of the flowers, and that 

 the leaves are rather more cut. It was introduced the fame year to the Hibbertian colle£tioD, flowers 

 in the fame month and requires the fame treatment, as the above variety.
