Geranium Lamberti. Swt. hort. brit: addenda , p. 492. 
Perennial. Herbaceous. Stems several from the 
same root, more or less branched, forked, swollen and bent 
at the joints, thickly clothed with soft woolly hairs, more 
or less of a red colour, not strong enough to support their 
own weight without support, but trailing on the ground, or 
supporting themselves by the nearest plant or branch within 
their reach: branches spreading, ascending, thickly clo¬ 
thed with unequal woolly hairs. Leaves cordate, or kid¬ 
ney-shaped, deeply 5-lobed, clothed on both sides with soft 
woolly hairs, which makes it feel very soft to the touch, 
strongly ribbed and reticulately veined, spotted with obso¬ 
lete yellowish spots, similar to G. maculatum ; lobes 
broadly wedge-shaped, spreading. Petioles nearly cylin¬ 
drical on the upper leaves, on the lower ones flattened on 
the upper side, thickly clothed with unequal woolly hairs. 
Stipules membranaceous, lanceolate, acute, concave, hairy, 
terminated in a long slender point. Peduncles cylindrical, 
rather slender, two-flowered, also clothed with woolly hairs. 
Involucre of four lanceolate, taper-pointed, hairy, mem¬ 
branaceous bractes. Pedicles double the length of the 
flower, very unequally hairy. Calyx of 5 sepals, which 
are oblongly lanceolate, strongly 5-nerved at the back, with
