Pelargonium incamatum. Swt. hort. brit. add.
Stem shrubby, upright, branching, thickly clothed with
unequal spreading hairs. Leaves cordate, obtuse, 3 to 5-
lobed, unequally toothed, hairy on both sides: lobes spreading,
wedge-shaped. Petioles flattened on the upper side,
and convex on the lower, thickly clothed with unequal
spreading hairs, as are the peduncles, bractes, and calyx. Stipules shortish, broadly cordate, acute, hairy. Peduncles
panicled, generally 4-flowered, the flowers terminating the
branches in a conspicuous manner. Involucre of 6 broadly
lanceolate acute bractes. Pedicles in general longer than
the bractes, hairy. Calyx 5-cleft, segments lanceolate, acute,
erect, the upper one largest. Nectariferous tube short,
scarcely half the length of the calyx, gibbous at the base. Petals 5, of a pale flesh or salmon colour, all roundly ovate,
the two upper ones broadest and oblique at the base, with
a bright red spot in the centre, below which are many
branching red lines. Filaments 10, connected at the base,
7 bearing anthers; pollen orange-coloured. Style pale purple,
a little longer than the stamens. Stigmas 5, purple, reflexed,
or revolute.
