* (The large and elegant blossoms have recommended this plant to garden culture, 
which has produced flowers both purple and striped. Though our British species cannot 
boast the splendid display of rich colours exhibited by the innumerable tribe of exotic 
Geramacece y they partake of that elegance with which the name is justly associated, and 
are fit ornaments of the wilderness or rock work. They attract a variety of flies, 
particularly those of the genus Empis. On this and some other kinds of Geranium, may be 
detected the minute parasitic fungus Uredo Geranii , figured and described in Grev. Scot. 
Crypt. 8. E.)
