date, with a dark velvetty spot in the centre, below which 
they are faintly lined; lower ones cuneate or wedge-shaped, 
with a fainter spot in the centre of each. Filaments 10, 
connected into a tube, 7 bearing anthers, that are always 
sterile, one of the filaments longer and broader than the 
others, inclining to spatulate, but scarcely so much as the 
true species belonging to Monospatalla , to which section 
the present plant must be referred, though it has nearly an 
equal claim to rank with the true Pelargonia. Style short, 
smooth its whole length. Stigmas 5, light red, reflexed at 
the points. 
For the opportunity afforded us of giving a figure of 
this very distinct and curious plant, we are obliged to Mrs. 
More, of the King’s-road, Chelsea, who raised it from a 
seed of P. crassijolium var. maculatum that had been 
fertilized by the pollen of P. ignescens, and it is exactly 
intermediate between them, partaking of the colour of 
P. ignescens, with the spots of the other species, and the 
foliage is as near as possible intermediate between the two; 
it was raised from seed in 1826, but has not flowered till 
this season. We believe it will continue a scarce plant for 
some time, as it is rather a slow grower, and does not pro¬ 
duce many shoots. It will also require a good Greenhouse 
to preserve it through the Winter, as both its parents are 
rather tender ; it will then require but little water: the best 
soil for it is an equal mixture of light turfy loam, peat, and 
sand ; and young cuttings, planted in pots in the same sort 
of soil, will root readily.
