Geranium verbasciflorum. Andrews's Geran. c. ie. 
Stem suffrulicose, scarcely strong enough to sup- 
port itself without assistance ; branches thickly clothed 
with unequal villous hairs, as are the petioles, pe- 
duncles, pedicles, and calyx. Leaves roundly oval, 
obtusely and doubly toothed, clothed on both sides 
with a short soft dense silky tomentum, margins waved 
and rolled backwards. Petioles very long, flattened 
on the upper side and convex on the lower, often 
twisted. Stipules lanceolate, keeled, sometimes tooth- 
ed, joined together at the base. Peduncles 3 to 5 flow- 
ered. Involucre of 6 cordate acute fringed bractes. 
Pedicles curved a little upwards when in flower, but 
declining when in fruit ; fruit erect. Cali/x inflated, 
globularly oblong, segments 5, unequal, concave, the 
upper one ovate, bluntish, 3-nerved, the others oblong 
or lanceolate and more pointed. Nectariferous tube 
about three times shorter than the calyx, flattened on 
each side and gibbous at the base. Petals 5, the two 
uppermost nearly round, waved, of a pale lilac colour 
with a white spot at the base, and in that is a short 
forked purplish mark ; unguis eared on the lower mar-
