Our drawing of this curious species of Pelargonium 
Was taken at the nursery of Messrs. Colvill and Son, 
who lately received it from Messrs. Sweet and Miller's 
Bristol Nursery: it belongs to a very distinct tribe, 
which might with propriety be formed into a genus. 
To it belong P. myrrhifolium, bullatum, lacemm, Ion- 
gicaule, anemonifolium, multicaule, caucalifoliumj mi- 
nimumy and some others. 
The species belonging to this section are mostly free 
growers and easily cultivated: they succeed well in a 
light loamy soil, mixed with a little peat or decayed 
leaves, and are fond of a light airy situation. Cuttings 
root as free as those of any of the shrubby kinds, and 
seeds also ripen in abundance. 
The species is native of the Cape of Good Hope, and, 
according to Hortus Kewensis, was cultivated in ) 724 
to the Chelsea Botanic Garden.
