colour, ligulate, spreading. Filaments 10, united at the 
base, 7 bearing anthers. Style purple, hairy below, and 
smooth upwards. Stigmas 5, dark purple, spreading, re¬ 
flexed at the points. 
Our drawing of this beautiful plant was made last 
Summer, from one in the collection of R. H. Jenkinson, 
Esq. where it was raised from a seed ofP . incomparable 
that had been fertilized by one of the P. ignescens tribe, 
and it partakes in an equal degree of both, the dark colour 
being produced from the female parent, and the scarlet 
from the male. It is a handsome growing bushy plant, 
producing abundance of flowers all the Summer and 
Autumn, and thriving well in a light sandy soil; from all 
its nearest relatives it is readily distinguished by its 
curled leaves, the lobes of which are plaited or imbricate 
over each other, so that it is well deserving a place in 
every collection of Geraniaceae. Young cuttings, planted 
in pots in a mixture of turfy loam, peat, and sand, and 
placed on a shelf in the Greenhouse, will strike root 
readily.
