Cannells’ Floral Guide, 1904. 
A NEW SCENTED-LEAP PELARGONIUM. 
CLOVINDA— Raised by Dr. Bonnvia, the result of a cross between a Cape Relargoninm and 
Quercifolium, of splendid free bold growing habit; deep green foliage of the Lolha7io type, and 
of an agreeable and refreshing fragrance. Flowers of good size and quite an improvement m 
that respect; in fact, particularly lar^e for a scented-leaf variety, and of a bright rosy-cerise 
shade, the colour in the two upper petals being deeper and feathered a bright maroon ; very free 
flowering and lasting a considerable time on the plant, a matter of 20 days or more, xsot onlj a 
desirable variety for cultivating in pots in the ordinary manner, but has every indication of being 
adaptable for large hanging baskets and other similar arrangements. Gd. each.
