dark red lines from the base. Filaments 10 , united at the 
base, 7 bearing anthers. Style purple, hairy above half way 
up, the upper part smooth. Stigmas 5, purple, reflexed. 
This handsome plant is of hybrid origin, and was raised 
from seed by Mr. W. Smith, in the collection of the Earl 
of Liverpool, at Coombe-wood; it is nearest related to 
P. mucronatum, but is readily distinguished when com¬ 
pared together; it is a free growing plant and of easy cul¬ 
ture, thriving well in any rich light soil, or a mixture of 
light sandy loam and peat will suit it very well; young cut¬ 
tings strike root freely, planted in pots, and placed on a 
shelf in the Greenhouse. 
We have named it in compliment to R. H. Gurney, 
Esq. of Keswick, near Norwich, who cultivates a collection 
of handsome sorts of Geraniacem.
