Geraniaceee that we have examined. Germen downy. 
Arillus villous. Style purple, hairy at the base and 
smooth above. Stigmas 5, purple and revolute. 
Our drawing of this plant was taken at the Comtesse 
de Vandes' collection at Bayswater: it is said to have 
been raised from seeds received from Buenos Ayres by 
the late Mr. Fordyce, but it is without doubt a Cape 
species, and we are almost certain of its being the 
same as Geranium ovatum of Cavanilles ; this section 
will probably be separated from Pelargonium: it is 
readily distinguished from all the others by its pointed 
anthers, and the anther-like apices of the upper barren 
filaments, besides the habit and appearance of the 
plants which distinguish them at first sight : to it be- 
long P. trichostemon, P. eriostemon, P. hlattarium, P. 
vet'hasciflorwnf P. stipulaceum ? P. tricolor , and several 
others. 
Our plant is figured by Mr. Andrews as a variety 
of P. tricolor, from which it differs more than from any 
other of the section, that being an upright plant with 
nearly orbicular flat petals, this a procumbent or trailing 
plant with oblong undulate petals. 
The plants of this section are more difficult of culti- 
vation than the true Pelargonia. The best soil for 
them is a mixture of loam, peat, and sand, an equal 
quantity of each ; the pots must be as small as possible, 
and well drained with potsherds, that they may not 
get sodden with too much wet, particularly in winter, 
when they should be kept on a dry airy shelf. Cuttings 
root freely planted in pots in the same kind of soil, and 
placed in a sheltered situation.
