This very handsome variety of the ragged-leaved geranium, is but little different from the purple-flowered Var. figured No. CCIV. of this work, Vol. III, except in the colour of the flowers, and that the leaves are rather more cut. It was introduced the same year to the Hibbertian collection, flowers in the same month and requires the same treatment, as the above variety.[Pg 506]
