18. GERANIACER. 
Erodium (cicutarium) cherophyllum, DC. 
Province -- 8. Surrey, and probably elsewhere, 
Syn. 228. Scarcely separable from the ordinary state of E. cicu- 
taritum. The special notice of this variation in English Botany, 
third edition, is my only warrant for a special notice of it here; 
and the Editor himself said that “the transition between the two 
seems to be gradual.” In the ‘Manual of British Botany,’ as in 
the ‘English Flora’ also, three subforms are mentioned. But 
Babington’s three do not exactly correspond with Smith's three, 
nor of course can they do so with Syme’s two. 
Erodium littoreum, Willd. 
Province - 3. Middlesex Flora, quoting “Irv. H. B. P. 752.” 
Casual. Near the Chelsea old water-works, Pimlico. 
Geranium pheum, Linn. 
Provinces 1 to 15 - - [18]. Has been seen in many counties. 
Alien. Oyb. i. 259. iii.400. Included in Edmondston’s Flora of 
Shetland ; but too likely only a garden plant there. 
Geranium striatum, Linn. 
Province 1 6-10. [12. Cumberland.] 
Alien. Cyb. i. 258. Said to be well established in Cornwall. 
Geranium angulatum, Curtis. 
Province - 12. Cumberland, as pretended by a Lake guide. 
Ambiguity. Cyb. i. 259. Phytologist ii, 430. 
Geranium nodosum, Linn. 
Provinces - 8-10-12-14. Herts. York. Cumberland. ‘ Tweed.” 
Alien. Cyb. i. 259. iii. 401. The subject of several errors, and 
perhaps of one wilful imposition. 
Geranium macrorhizum ? 
Province - 10. Washerlane, near Halifax; S. Gibson. 
Ambiguity. This was recorded in the ‘New Botanist’s Guide’ 
under the name of “ G. nodosum ;’’ its locality being misread into 
Waterham. In Phytologist 1. 556, Mr. Gibson denies it as 
nodosum and declares it pyrenaicum; which latter name certainly 
is given on its label in Mr. Gibson’s own handwriting. The 
specimen is a mere scrap, the top of a flowering stem or branch, 
and assuredly wide away from G. pyrenaicum. It may perchance 
be the old garden flower, as above named; the fragment itself 
perhaps picked in a garden. But ‘ Washerlane” might be examined 
by a resident botanist. 
Geranium (molle) innominatum, Lond. Cat. ed. 6. 
Provinces - 8, etc. This means a “nameless” variety. There are 
two forms or states of the species, differing much in pubescence,
