The singular bearded termination, on each tooth, of the leaflets of this species of Geranium, has induced us to give it a specific title; although, in many other respects, it approaches very near two or three others, already figured, by us, of this long genus. It is from the same country with the other tuberous species, and introduced to the Hibbertian collection in 1800, where our drawing was made in July 1802.[Pg 31]
