Ord. geraniaceje. 



1. GERANIUM,* Linn. 



§ 1. GERANIUM verum. 

 1. Geranium dissectum, Linn. 



Hab. Rio Negro, North Patagonia (nearly the G. Patagonicum, 

 Hook. f. Fl. Antarc. p. 252). Chili, from Valparaiso to the Andes 

 above Santiago. Bay of Islands, New Zealand (the var. retrorsum 

 and var. glabratum, Hook. f). New South Wales (Q. pilosum, For- 

 ster, &c.). 



I adopt Dr. Hooker's view, in referring the Geranium pilosum and 

 G. retrorsum of Forster, as well as his own G. Patagonicum, to the 

 European G. dissectum. At least, sufficient characters for distinguish- 

 ing them have not been detected.
