curved inwards. Pollen orange-coloured. Germen 
villous. Sti/le red, very hairy. Stigmas 5, reflexed. 
Our drawing of this pretty little species was taken 
from a fine healthy plant at the nursery of Messrs. 
Colvill and Son, whose collection of the tuberous- 
rooted Geraniacese we believe exceeds every other in 
the country, and from it we expect many rare and 
curious subjects in the course of next spring and sum- 
mer. The present plant had been lately received, with 
several other kinds, from the Cape. It thrives very 
well, like the rest of its relatives, in an equal mix- 
ture of turfy loam, peat, and sand, keeping it quite 
dry when in a dormant state. It may be increased by 
the little tubers from the roots, or by dividing the old 
one ; these must be kept quite dry when first planted, 
till the wound is healed over ; they may then be regu- 
larly watered : but the best method of increasing it is 
by seeds, which ripen in abundance if some pollen be 
applied to the' stigmas when in full bloom.
