Pelargonium reniforme

stem shrubby, short, often scaly; branches succulent, velvetty; leaves on long petioles, reniform or ovato-cordate, obtuse, crenate or lobulate, velvetty above, albo-tomentose and prominently many-nerved underneath, the nerves digitate, forking; stipules from a broader base, subulate; peduncles elongate, often branched, the partial pluri-flowered; pedicels much shorter than the calyx-tube, which is lanoso-pubescent and thrice as long as the sepals; petals obovate. This well-marked species varies somewhat in the shape, and more in the size of the leaves and in the colour of the flower; but after examining large suits of specimens, I cannot consent to uphold as species any of the above-named varieties. E. & Z.'s “ C. rubro-purpurea ” is very unlike the figure to which they refer it, and is certainly nothing more than a starved condition of our var. α. Var. β. is exactly intermediate between α & γ.
