This pretty fpecies of Geranium, from the Cape of Good Hope, is one of thofe having feven fertile
tips; therefore a Pelargonium of Monf. L'Heritier. It is a low growing plant, feldom exceeding
eight or nine inches in heiglit, keeping verj' compaa; but is fabjea to damp in the leaves, if kep"
inoift in winter, though otherwife pretty hardy. Mr. C. Lodiges, of Hackney, firft raifed it from feeds
which lie received from Vienna, about the year 1793. It is readily propagated by cuttings, or feeds,
and continues to flower all the fiimmer months; requiring light rich earth to make it flouriili.
