the base, strongly veined at the back, the veins branched, 
of a dark velvet, crimson at the edges, the unguis eared on 
one side above the base : lower petals spatulate, with a 
slender unguis, pale crimson. Filaments 10, united at the 
base, 5 bearing anthers, which are always sterile; the two 
back barren ones lengthened a little, and in general slightly 
hooked. Ovariums 5, the aristas clothed with long spread¬ 
ing hairs, and terminated by 5 bright purple Stigmas. 
This very handsome and singular plant is a hybrid pro¬ 
duction, and was raised from seed by Mr. W. Smith, in the 
Earl of Liverpool’s collection at Coombe Wood, where our 
drawing was made this Spring; one of its parents was 
Campylia holosericea, and the other Pelargonium san- 
guineum, so that it may be considered as one of the most 
distinct hybrid productions that has yet been procured, ex¬ 
cept Pelargonium campylicejlorum, which is nearly or 
quite as distinct. It is a plant well worthy attention, and 
deserves a place in every collection, being a free grower 
and an abundant bloomer, and so different from every other. 
It thrives well in an equal mixture of light turfy loam, peat, 
and sand; and cuttings strike root freely, planted in pots 
in the same sort of soil, and placed on a shelf in the Green¬ 
house.
