standing forward and pressed together very like the wings and 
keel of a papilionaceous flower. Lertile stamens five. 
This is a fourth species, which we cannot find anywhere 
described, of the same group as the P. rapaceum, nutans, and 
corydalifolium of De Candolle’s ‘ Prodromus,’ which are placed by 
Harvey in the Cape flora as varieties of a single species. In the 
pecular character of the calyx and corolla they all agree, but 
differ considerably in the colour of the petals, the character of 
the leaves, and pubescence of the stem and other parts of the 
plant.—J. G. B. 
The Pelargoniums of this section are interesting and peculiar, 
on account of their large carrot-like tuberous stem, the larger 
portion of which is buried in the ground. They le dormant 
during the summer season, and should be potted and started into 
growth early in the autumn. They require a light airy green- 
house, and, properly treated, flower freely. Tubers of this species 
were sent to me from South Africa by Mr. Cooper.—W. W. S.
