double the length of the upper one. Style very short. 
Stigmas 5, spreading. 
Our drawing of this pretty species was taken from a 
plant at the Nursery of Mr. Lee, at Hammersmith, where 
it had been lately received from the Cape; it requires pre¬ 
cisely the same sort of treatment as the other tuberous 
rooted species; if planted in pots, an equal mixture of 
light turfy loam, peat, and sand, is the best soil to plant it 
in, keeping it dry through the Winter when in a dormant 
state; but the plan adopted by Mr. Smith, at the Earl of 
Liverpool’s garden, and mentioned by us in the last Num¬ 
ber, is in our opinion much to be preferred, and requires 
much less trouble, as the plants only require to be kept free 
from weeds through the Summer, and to be taken up in 
Autumn, and laid out of the reach of frost till the following 
Spring; the present species is readily increased by the little 
tubers of its roots, or by seeds. 
Our plant is precisely the same as the one figured in the 
work of Jacquin above quoted, but certainly nothing to do 
with either of those figured by Andrews, under the name 
of Geranium barbatum; those may be distinguished from 
it, and from each other, as below.

dentatis acuminatis apice setosis, petalis spatulatis: Superioribus
