The present plant is one of the most curious hybrid 
productions of this tribe that we have yet seen, having been 
raised from seed in the collection of R. H. Jenkinson, Esq. 
from one of the species of Dimacria, that was fertilized with 
the pollen of one of the Lemon-scented species of Pelar¬ 
gonium ; its leaves are clove-scented, and the curiosity of 
the plant makes it well deserving a place in all curious col¬ 
lections ; it requires the same management as the other tu¬ 
berous-rooted sorts, thriving best in an equal portion of 
light turfy loam, peat, and sand, requiring but little water 
in Winter; but it must not be allowed to die down alto¬ 
gether, like many of the real tuberous-rooted sorts, the pre¬ 
sent being slightly suffruticose, and if allowed to get all its 
branches killed down to the root, it will be some time in re¬ 
covering, and will not then flower so early, nor as well; it 
is readily propagated by the tubers of its roots.
