This handsome-flowering plant is related to the 
tribe figured by Andrews, under the name of Geranium 
maculatum. It is without doubt of hybrid origin, and 
will rank amongst the finest of the garden productions. 
It was raised from seed by Sir R. C. Hoare, who sent 
us the specimens from which our drawing was taken. 
It makes a handsome snug-growing plant, and will 
thrive well in a mixture of sandy loam and peat, or de- 
cayed leaves. Cuttings strike root freely, planted in 
pots in the same kind of soil, and set on a shelf in the 
greenhouse.
