Our drawing was taken from a plant that we received
from Robert H. Jenkinson, Esq. Mr. Andrews
has given a figure of it under the name of Geranium
lacerum; but it is very different from P. lacerum of
Jacquin. It is a very desirable plant for training to a
trellis, or for placing on a shelf, where its pendulous
branches may hang down. We believe it to be an
original species, and it is an old inhabitant of our gardens,
but was become very scarce; and we were afraid
that it had disappeared from them altogether, until we
received it from Mr. Jenkinson. It is of free growth,
and as hardy as any of the tribe, thriving well in a
mixture of light sandy loam and peat, or any light vegetable
mould. Cuttings of it soon strike root, if
planted in pots and placed "in a sheltered situation.
