Names
PELARGONIUM pulverulentum Colv. [family GERANIACEAE], in Sw. Ger. t. 218
PELARGONIUM primulæforme E. & Z. [family GERANIACEAE], ! 505.
PELARGONIUM testaceum E. Mey. [family GERANIACEAE], ! Drege, 7507. a. and b.
Information
stem very short; leaves thickish, glabrescent, pubescent or villous, especially underneath, cordate, obtuse, pinnate-lobulate, and bluntly toothed, the lobules short and round; stipules cordate, acute, membranous; calyx setulose, the segments linear, acute, shorter than the obovate, brown-disked petals, This in somewhat resembles P. lobatum, but the leaves are much smaller, of thicker substance, quite simple, with no disposition to become tri-partite, more obtusely toothed, and much less hairy, sometimes nearly glabrous above, and only sparsely pubescent below.
Distribution
SOUTH AFRICA In grassy fields, of the Eastern Districts. Uitenhage and Caffirland, E. & Z.! Zuureberg and between the Gekau and Basche, Drege! Fish River, Burke! (Herb. T.C.D., Hook., Sond.).
Notes
Sweet says “the leaves are covered with a powdery pubescence, quite white when young;” and he speaks also of an allied, cultivated species “with rounder and smoother leaves of a greasy appearance.” This latter may probably be Meyer's “ testaceum ” which is more glabrous than Ecklon's plant; but mere pubescence is a fallacious character.
