This fine species of Pelargonium is now become 
scarce in the collections about London, the rage after 
novelty having made it a good deal neglected ; it is also 
rather tenderer than most of the shrubby kinds, and is 
very liable to be injured by too much v;^et in winter : the 
best soil for it is a mixture of rather more than half of 
light turfy loam, and the rest peat or decayed leaves. 
Cuttings root freely planted under hand-glasses, or in 
pots placed in a sheltered situation. There are a great 
number of hybrid plants, whose origin may be traced 
between this species and several others ; some of them 
are very beautiful. 
Our drawing was taken from a plant in the select 
collection of Geraniacese belonging to Robert Jenkin- 
son, Esq. to whom we are obliged for much useful in- 
formation concerning the different kinds, and from 
whose collection we may expect many rare and beauti- 
ful subjects.
