The present plant is one of the most curious hybrid
productions of this tribe that we have yet seen, having been
raised from seed in the collection of R. H. Jenkinson, Esq.
from one of the species of Dimacria, that was fertilized with
the pollen of one of the Lemon-scented species of Pelargonium
; its leaves are clove-scented, and the curiosity of
the plant makes it well deserving a place in all curious collections
; it requires the same management as the other tuberous
rooted sorts, thriving best in an equal portion of
light turfy loam, peat, and sand, requiring but little water
in Winter; but it must not be allowed to die down altogether,
like many of the real tuberous-rooted sorts, the present
being slightly suffruticose, and if allowed to get all its
branches killed down to the root, it will be some time in recovering,
and will not then flower so early, nor as well; it
is readily propagated by the tubers of its roots.
