For an opportunity of giving this curious and very 
distinct species of Pelargonium, we are indebted to 
Mr. W. Anderson, curator of the Botanic Garden, 
Chelsea, who has lately reintroduced it, it having disap- 
peared from our collections for several years. In our 
opinion it is as handsome as any of the genus; for 
although the flowers are not so large as in some others, 
yet their abundance and curious form make up that 
deficiency: it is a strong vigorous-growing plant, and 
continues in bloom the greater part of the summer ; a 
rich lightish soil suits it best, or a mixture of two thirds 
turfy loam, and the rest peat or decayed leaves: it re- 
quires but little water in winter, as too much wet is very 
injurious to it. Cuttings root freely planted under a 
hand-glass, or in pots placed in a shady situation: it 
also produces plenty of seeds, by which any number 
may be raised.
