Pelargonium Devonia. King Mss.
Stem frutescent, somewhat branched: branches clothed
with long spreading woolly hairs, and some shorter
ones intermixed, as are also the petioles, peduncles, pedicles,
and calyx. Leaves kidney-shaped, rigid, somewhat
undulate, more or less 5-lobed, and deeply toothed
with numerous sharp rigid teeth, that are more or less
tinged with brown, the margins fringed with woolly
hairs, strongly nerved underneath, the nerves much
branched, thinly clothed with long hairs on both sides,
but appearing smooth and glossy,. nerves very hairy: upper leaves attenuated towards the base, sharp pointed,
the lobes and teeth also sharper and longer. Petioles
flattened a little on the upper side, and deeply furrowed,
rounded on the lower, more or less tinged with browq. Stipules ovate, tapering to the point, and broad at the
base. Peduncles cylindrical, more or less bent, 3 to 5-
flowered. Involucre of 6 broadly ovate, sharp-pointed,
keeled bractes, that are hairy and fringed. Pedicles much
longer than the bractes. Calyx 5-cleft; the segments
broadly lanceolate, sharp-pointed, keeled, the margins
clothed with white wool or entangled hairs, upper one
largest, more or less stained tube with brown. Nectariferous variable in length, sometimes scarcely so long, at
others a little longer than the calyx, much flattened on
each side, and gibbous at the base. Petals 5, the two
upper ones obovate, very unequal-sided, strongly 2-
nerved towards the base, the nerves branching upwards:
