nearly as long as the style, reflexed or revolute. Cap- 
sules large, opening inwards, covered with long bristly 
hairs. Seeds one in each capsule, oblong, blunt at 
each end, dotted all over with minute dots. Aristas 
straight, hairy. 
This fine species of Geranium, which we believe is 
the largest-flowered of the genus, is sufficiently hardy 
to endure our winters in the open ground without pro- 
tection: it is well deserving a place in every flower- 
border, where its numerous very large flowers will 
make a fine appearance: it thrives in any soil or 
situation, but prefers a rich light soil. It may be pro- 
pagated by dividing at the root, or from seeds, which 
ripen in abundance ; these should be sown in pots early 
in spring, and when of sufficient size, may be planted 
into the open ground. 
Our drawing was taken at the collection of Robert 
H. Jenkinson, Esq. in June last. 
We have lately received a specimen from Sir R. C. 
Hoare of a beautiful species of this genus, which he in- 
forms us was raised from seed given him by A. B. Lam- 
bert, Esq. who received it from the Hymalayan moun- 
tains: its brilliancy of colour exceeds all we have 
met with.
