THIS Geranium, from the Cape of Good Hope, is quite diftinft in its habit, from moft of the tuberous
fpecies; the leaflets or wings of the leaves being more hand-fliaped, and at a greater diftance from
each other, than in any which has come under our obfervation; having much the appearance of thofe
of the plant from which we have derived its fpecific title. The plant was introduced by Mr. Niven,
to the Ciapham Colleaion, in 1800; where our drawing was taken in the month of June, J803.
1 he cultivation as ufual, for the plants of this branch of the Geranium family.
