* In geranium the stamina are generally alternately long and short; this genus, 
according to Linnseus, hath eighty-two species under several divisions, viz. The 
African geraniums have only seven of the filaments that bear anthers ; others have 
only five bearing anthers ; and in others all the ten have anthers. But Mr. Alton, 
in his Hortus Kewensis , hath very properly (from L. Heritier) divided the genus 
geranium into three genera, according to the number of stamina that bear anthers ; 
those with five anthers he calls erodium , from erodios (an heron) containing the 
myrrhina of Linnaeus; those with seven anthers he calls pelargonium , from pclar- 
gos (a stork) containing the Africana of Linnaeus; and those with ten anthers he 
calls geranium , from geranios (a crane) containing the batrachia of Linn^us, But, 
in the 8th. edit, of the Gen. Plan . this distinction is not adopted*
