22. P. pubens, Sims, Bot. Mag., t. 2264.— Stem hairy. 

 Leaf segments tapering to a point, very hairy below, margins 

 red. Corolla rosy red. (See fig. 33.) 



23. P. Barrii (P. Bussi, Bot. Mag., t. 3431, non Bivon.).— 

 Leaf segments about five times as long as broad, scarcely

 more, rigid. Leaves dark bluish green, flat, compact, and much
