PELARGONIUM setosum [family GERANIACEAE], of Drege's plants.
PELARGONIUM limbatum [family GERANIACEAE], of Drege's plants.
Information
leaves petiolate, decompound-pinnatifid, the laciniæ laxly set, erecto-patent, narrow-linear 3–4-fid or pinnatifid, the margins often inflexed, and the apices tipped with 3–4 bristles; scapes branching; calyx tomentose-villous, the segments lanceolate-acute, with a narrow margin, and apical, bearded gland. I fear this is only a var. of P. longifolium, with constantly multipartite leaves. There is no difference in the flower, and the pubescence can scarcely be depended on. The present is sometimes nearly glabrous, sometimes densely pubescent. Some of Drege's specimens, marked “ barbatum ,” belong to our plant, others to what appear a different species. P. pennæformis, E. & Z.! 477 (Herb. Sond.) is much larger, with broader and flatter leaf-segments, and white, or cream-coloured flowers, wanting the dark spot; it may be a distinct species.
Distribution
SOUTH AFRICA Rocky and sandy ground, in the Western Districts about Capetown, &c. (Herb. T.C.D., Hook., Sond.)
