Names
PELARGONIUM oblongatum E. Mey. [family GERANIACEAE], ! in Herb. Drege
Information
leaves (not perfectly known) on long, glabrous petioles, oblong-obovate, crenate, glabrous, subciliate (?); scapes patently hispid, branched; umbels 4–8- flowered, with ovato-lanceolate, setose bracts; calyx tubes sparsely hispid, 3–4 times as long as the lanceolate, acute, membranous edged, hispidulous segments; stamens 5, very long, declinate; petals broadly obovate. On all the specimens seen, the leaves, which probably precede the flowers, are so far decayed that it is not easy to ascertain their proper shape. Our description may therefore require correction, The flowers are among the largest in this section, with remarkably long calyx-tubes and stamens, and cream-coloured petals, the upper ones with purple veins. It seems to be related to P. Grenvilleæ, Andr.
Distribution
SOUTH AFRICA Kaus Mountain, near Kookfontein, Namaqualand, 29° s., 3–4000 f., Drege! (Herb. T.C.D., Hook., Sond.)
