PELARGONIUM Deburgh®. 
Mrs. De Burgh's Stork's-bill. 
P. j Deburghce, foliis cordatis obtusis 5-7-lobis undulatis 
cartilagineo-dentatis ciliatis utrinque piloso-tomentosis 
apice recurvis: lobis latis subconduplicatis recurvis, 
stipulis cordato-ovatis acutis villosis, umbellis pluri- 
floris, tubo nectarifero calyce subaequaii. 
Stem frutescent, hard and woody, and clothed with a 
brown cracked bark: branches erect or slightly spreading, 
densely clothed with spreading villous hairs, as are the pe¬ 
tioles/peduncles, and calyx. Leaves numerous, rather 
small, about 2 inches long, and 2 inches and a half broad, 
cordate, bluntly rounded at the point, 5 to 7-lobed, very 
much undulate, toothed with numerous unequal broad 
rigid cartilaginous teeth, the margins fringed, both sides 
densely clothed with short woolly hairs, so that they are 
very soft to the touch, points and lobes more or less re¬ 
curved: lobes broad, overlapping at the base, bluntly 
rounded, conduplicate or folded, owing to their great breadth. 
Petioles a little flattened on the upper side and convex be¬ 
low, thickened a little at the base. Stipules ovate, or cor- 
dately ovate, acute, rather short, sometimes toothed, vil¬ 
lous, and fringed. Umbels generally 6-flowered. Pedun¬ 
cles cylindrical, more or less bent. Involucre of 6 or 7 
broadly lanceolate, taper-pointed, villous bractes. Pedicles 
villous, in general longer than the bractes. Calyoc 5 -cleft, 
the segments lanceolate, acute, upper one broadest, keeled, 
erect; the others slightly reflexed at the points. Necta¬ 
riferous tube about the length of the calyx, sometimes ra¬ 
ther longer, or occasionally a little shorter, much flattened 
on each side and furrowed, gibbous at the base. Petals 5 ,
