Pelargonium salebrosum. Swt. hori. brit. addenda. 
Root tuberous. Stem short, succulent, rugged and un¬ 
even, swollen into knots at the joints, not much branched : 
branches spreading or ascending, thickly clothed with very 
unequal villous hairs, as is every other part of the plant 
except the corolla. Leaves cordate, 5-lobed, truncately 
obtuse, very rugged or blistered, more or less undulate, 
crenate or notched with broad shallow notches, strongly 
nerved underneath, of a darkish green on the upper side 
and light on the under one, very soft to the touch, owing to 
the numerous villous hairs. Petioles nearly cylindrical, or 
very slightly flattened on the upper side, swollen at the 
base. Stipules small, cordate, acute, undulate and fringed, 
partly remaining persistent. Peduncles axillary, much 
longer than the leaves. Umbels many-flowered. Involucre 
of one leaf, divided into numerous segments, some of which 
are ovate, others lanceolate, acute and fringed. Pedicles 
about the length of the bractes. Calyx 5-cleft, segments 
oblong, obtuse, all reflexed from about the middle. Necta¬ 
riferous tube about twice the length of the calyx, slightly 
flattened on each side, and gibbous at the base. Petals 5, 
distinct, very much spreading, ovate and often 1 -toothed at 
the point, the two upper ones rather largest, of a dark 
purple, light at the base and margins. Filaments 10,
