flattened on both sides, and gibbous at the base, tinged 
with brown. Petals 5, crenulate at the margins; the 
two upper ones obovate, unequal-sided towards the 
base, of a handsome blush, with a dark purple patch 
in the centre, and numerous branching purple lines 
which extend over the greatest part of the petal: lower 
petals oblongly obovate, white or pale blush, with three 
or four faint purple lines from the base. Filaments 10, 
united at the base, 7 bearing anthers: pollen orange- 
coloured. Style purple, very hairy nearly all its length. 
Stigmas 5, fimbriate, spreading, dark purple, the points 
reflexed Or revolute. 
The habit of the present plant immediately shows 
one of the parents from which it has been produced, 
which is P. platypetalon; this has doubtless been fer¬ 
tilized by one of the large-leaved, and stronger grow¬ 
ing sorts, which produced the present plant; it is very 
free of growth, makes a very handsome growing bushy 
plant, which produces a great abundance of flowers all 
the Summer, and until late in Autumn, if managed 
accordingly: it succeeds well in any rich light soil; 
and young cuttings strike root freely, if planted in 
pots, and placed in a shady situation. 
Our drawing was made from a plant, sent us from 
the Nursery of Mr. Dennis, where it was raised from 
seeds by Mr. Joseph Robinson, a successful cultivator 
of Geraniaceee, who has the care of Mr. Dennis’s 
plants.
