As so many persons confuse the genus Pelargonium with Geranium, it may he well to point 

 out the prominent distinguishing features. In Pelargonium the flowers are irregular and usually 

 in umbels, and the upper sepal is furnished with a spur, as in Tropbeolum, only in the present 

 case it is adnate to the pedicel. In Geranium the flowers are regular, and the peduncles bear but 

 one or two flowers.
