4.36 
ciniated, the length of the calyx, which is avvnlefs. 
Stem a foot iiigh, dichotomous or bitid, patulous, pube- 
fcent; -upper leaves alternate, five-lobed, wrinkled, to- 
inentofe, not Ipotted. Native of Italy. 
Geranium lividuui, or v.'rinkled-leaved crane’s- 
bill : leaves half-feven-lobed, gaflied ; calyxes (imple, 
hairy ; petals flat, foniewhat v/aved. This is allied to 
the two laft. The ftem is the fame; the lower leaves 
are conjugate, the upper ones folitary, narrower, deeply 
leven-cleft, w ith trifid ferrate lobes. It is a native of 
Swifferland, about Aigle, &c. 
14. Geranium nodofum, or knotty crane’s-bill: petals 
emarginate ; fteut-leaves three-lobed, entire, I’enate, lu¬ 
cid underneath. 1 his is an herbaceous plant, having 
knobs like little bulbs at the origin of the branches and 
peduncles, whence the name. Stems f'mooth, Ihining, 
iwcUed at the joints. Native of Dauphine, and the 
mountains of Cumberland; flowering in July and Augufl:. 
15. Geranium (Iriatuiu, or ftreaked crane’s-bill: leaves 
five-lobed, lobes widened in the middle ; petals t;vo- 
lobed, netted-veined. Root perennial, fending up many 
branching (talks afoot and a half high; reaves light 
green, thofe on the lower part of the (talk have five 
lobes, and (land upon long foot-ftalks; thofe on the 
I’pper part have but three lobes, fit defer to the (talks, 
and are (harply indented on the edges. Native of Italy; 
cultivated in 1629; flowers in May and June. 
16. Geranium argenteum, or filvery-leaved crane’s, 
bill: petals emarginate; leaves fubpeltate, feven-parted, 
trifid, toinentofe-filky. Root perennial, thick; leaves 
on long petioles, (ilvery, and (liining; flower-ltalks four 
or five inches high, with one or tvro fmall leaves on 
tliem, like tho(e below, butfeflile; and terminated by 
two pretty large pale flow'ers, with entire petals that 
ipread open flat. It flowers in June. Native of Monte 
Baldo, and Dauphine. 
17. Geranium maculatum, or fpotted crane’s-bill : 
ftem dichotomous, eretl; leaves five-parted, gaflied, 
the uppermoft feflile. Root perennial; ftems (everal, 
about a foot high, or more, dividing by pairs ; from the 
middle of the divilions come out the peduncles, which 
are pretty long and naked, each fuftaining two pale 
purple flowers, with entire petals. It flowers in June. 
Native of Carolina and Virginia. 
18. Geranium pratenfe, or meadow crane’s-bill: leaves 
fubpeltate, many-parted, wrinkled, acute ; petals entire. 
Root perennial, fending up many (talks, which rife near 
three feet high, forked, tinged more or lefs with red ; 
hairs on the upper branches white, terminated by minute 
darkled globules. The flowers appear in May and June. 
Native of meadows, in moll parts of Europe. 
19. Geranium palultre, or marfh crane’s-bill: pedun¬ 
cles very long, declined ; leaves five-lobed, gaflied ; pe- 
tals entire. The branches ®f this are extremely divari¬ 
cated, bifarioully and obtulely angular. It may be dif- 
tinguKhed from G. (ylvaticum. No. 21, which it refem. 
bles very much in the leaves, by the fuperior length of 
the peduncles, which are alfo recurved before the flow¬ 
ers open, and are not ere6t, but declined; the petals 
likewife are entire, not emarginate. Native of Ger¬ 
many, Rufiia, and Denmark. 
20. Geranium aconitifolium, oraconite-leaved crane’s- 
bill; leaves fubpeltate, feven-parted; petals entire, 
veiny-lined. Native of Swilferland and Dauphine; flow¬ 
ers in May. 
21. Geranium fylvaticum, or wood crane’s-bill: leaves 
fubpeltate, five-lobed, gafli-ferrate; ftem ereit; petals 
em.irginate. Stem two or three feet high, covered with 
reflexed hairs, much branched. Native of mountainous 
woods and thickets in many, particularly the northern, 
pans (ft Eurojie. With us, in Durham, Weftmoreland, 
Cumberland, Lancaliiire, and Yorkihire. About Ay(- 
garth Force, Wenlly-daie; near Flales Owen in Shrop- 
fliirc; Holt-wood in Leziate, near Lynn, Norfolk, Sic. 
It flowers in June and July. 
22. Geranium pyrenaicum, or mountain crane’s-bill • 
leaves rounded, five-lobed or three-lobed, gaflied; pe¬ 
tals two-lobed. This (pecies is twice as'large as tlie 
common fort. No. 23. and always nearly upright. Stem 
hairy, forkect twice or thrice. Leaves hairy, the lower 
generally feven-lobed, thefe again trifid, with rounded 
or blunt divilions, the middle one frequently creiiate. 
The upp’er leaves are frequently three-lobed, the lobes 
trifid, entire, the fegments more acute than in the lower 
leaves, and the lobes more patent; they are often red 
at the edge. Native of the South of France, the Pyre¬ 
nees, and England ; near London, about Chelfea, Bromp- 
ton, and Batterfea ; near Enfield, Oxford, Bingley, and 
Keighley in Yorkfliire. 
IV. Peduncles two-flowered, annual. 23. Geranium 
molle, common crane’s-bill, or dove’s-foot : peduncles 
and floral leaves alternate; petals bifid; calyxes awn- 
lefs ; ftem fomewhat eredt. Stems procumbent, round, 
reddifli, from nine inches to a foot in length, villofe, 
branched. Root-leaves roundifli, hoary, and veiny un¬ 
derneath, deeply divided into feven fegments, which 
are jagged; Item-leaves alternate, divided into fewer, 
narrower, and more pointed, fegments. Petals purple, 
obcordate, a little longer than the calyx ; antheras blue ; 
ftyle with glandular hairs; feeds fmooth, covered with 
a v/rinkled aril. G. molle when growing detached is 
procumbent, but among other plants it is drawn up¬ 
right. It varies much in fize, and the flowers vary in 
colour through many gradations of purple to pale red 
and white. It is the moft common of all our geraniums, 
on dry banks, under walls, in corn-fields, and in paftures; 
beginning to flower in April, and continuing through 
the fummer. 
24. Geranium rotundifolium, or round-leaved crane’s, 
bill: petals almoft entire, equal to the calyx, which is 
fomewhat awned ; leaves kidney-fliaped, lobed, gafhed, 
(inufes glandular. Stems much branched, draggling, 
but Icarcely proftrate; (tern and branches covered with 
a very (liort down, which feels extremely (oft like vel¬ 
vet, when drawn through the fingers. The leaves are 
rounder, and of a paler colour; the feeds are dotted, 
fo as to appear reticulated. Hairs on the aril fpreading. 
Thefe marks diftinguKh it from the foregoing. The 
filaments are clearly diftinift at the bafe. The petals are 
flefli-coloured or purple, varying to white, emarginate 
or obcordate ; Mr. Woodward does not think that the 
divilion of the petals is to be at all depended on. Wlien 
frelh gathered it has a pretty ftrong (cent of mulk, but 
it foon goes olf. Found on walls, roofs, banks, and in 
fandy paftures, about Klington, Hackney, Batterlea, 
Wand(worth,Mortlake, Kew, &c. near London; Church 
Brampton in Northamptoafliire; about Bath and Bri(- 
tol; in Suffolk, common. 
25. Geranium pulillum, or fmall-flowered crane’s-bill: 
petals emarginate ; arils even, with hairs prelTed clofe; 
Item fubpubefeent. This ditfers from the nu>//e in hav¬ 
ing the leaves more divided, of a paler and more yellow 
colour; the flowers much fmaller, of a bluer and Id's 
brilliant hue; the ftems fcaice perceptibly hairy, or 
but (lightly pubefeent: the leaves in general grow op- 
poflte, but frequently not lb towards the top of the 
ftem, and are more open behind : the fertile ftamina are 
nevermore than five; and the aril is not tranlverfely 
wrinkled as in the molle, but comparatively fmooth. 
It forms a larger tuft than the molle, and lometimes 
varies with white flowers, as that does. 11 is alfo equally 
common in many places ; particularly on the weft fide 
of London, in negleited gardens and fallow fields; flow¬ 
ering in June and July. 
29. Geranium lucidum, (liining crane’s-bill or dove’s- 
foot: calyxes pyramidal, angular, raifed in wrinkles; 
leaves five-lobed, rounded. Stems and leaves fmooth 
and ihining as if varnilhed, w’lience its (ignificant trivial 
name; they are, however, (lightly hairy. Leaveskitiney- 
fhaped, inoftly five-lobed, thefe again divided halt-way 
into
