baceous, decumbent ; Itigmas feflile. This fends out 
feveral herbaceous (talks about a foot and a half in length. 
Flowers pale blufh-colour, feveral together upon very 
long peduncles. There is a fucceflion of them during 
all the fummer-months ; and the feeds ripen about a 
month afterthe flowers are fallen. There is a variety of 
it, with a dark circle in the middle of the leaves. Cul¬

on tiie fide oppofite to the leaves : they are of a pale flefh- 
colour: appear in July ; and the feeds ripen in Septem¬ 
ber; foon after which the plants decay. Linnaeus re¬ 
marks, that the di(k of the leaf becomes brownifti, as in 
the next fpecies ; and that the antherae are five or feven.

ate ; petals linear; joints flefhy-gibbofe. This has a 
thick flefhy knotted (talk, riling about two feet high, 
fending out a few (lender flefhy branches, thinly fet with 
leaves, which on the lower part of the Italk are petioled, 
but above are feflile. The flowers are produced in fmall 
clufters at the ends of the branches: the petals are nar¬ 
row and white, making no great appearance, but they 
continue in fucceflion molt part of the fummer. Culti¬ 
vated in Chelfea garden in 1724. 
18. Pelargonium ceratophyllum, or horn-leaved 
ftork’s-bill : umbels many flowered, leaves remotely- 
pinnate, flefhy, round; fegments channelled, obfoletely 
trifid. Native of the fouth-weft coaft of Africa. Intro¬

glaucous, fmooth, leafy, flowering at the top. Flowers 
very numerous, inodorous, rather elegant than fplendid. 
This fpecies is allied to the preceding; but appears to be 
diftindt, on account of the dilated, pointed, and not- 
obtufe, divifions of the leaves ; more efpecially from the 
crifping and waving of the upper petals, and all of them 
being obtufe; not to mention its panicled (not folitary) 
umbels. It flowered in April 1792, at the marchionefs 
of Rockingham’s; to whom the feeds, brought by cap¬
