Several plants of this little species of Geranium were 
raised last spring by Mr. W. Anderson, at the Botanic 
Garden, Chelsea, from seeds given him by Sir A. 
Hume, who received them from Nepal, from one 
of which our drawing was taken last summer. We 
believe it to be the first species of the family from 
that country that has yet been raised in our gardens ;
