double the length of the upper one. Style very short. Stigmas 5, spreading.
Our drawing of this pretty species was taken from a
plant at the Nursery of Mr. Lee, at Hammersmith, where
it had been lately received from the Cape; it requires precisely
the same sort of treatment as the other tuberous
rooted species; if planted in pots, an equal mixture of
light turfy loam, peat, and sand, is the best soil to plant it
in, keeping it dry through the Winter when in a dormant
state; but the plan adopted by Mr. Smith, at the Earl of
Liverpool’s garden, and mentioned by us in the last Number,
is in our opinion much to be preferred, and requires
much less trouble, as the plants only require to be kept free
from weeds through the Summer, and to be taken up in
Autumn, and laid out of the reach of frost till the following
Spring; the present species is readily increased by the little
tubers of its roots, or by seeds.
Our plant is precisely the same as the one figured in the
work of Jacquin above quoted, but certainly nothing to do
with either of those figured by Andrews, under the name
of Geranium barbatum; those may be distinguished from
it, and from each other, as below.
