Everlasting flower with a shrubby stem; leaves lance-shaped, keeled, and silky; flowers grow in panicles, and silvery. REFERENCE TO THE PLATE. 1. An hermaphrodite Floret, natural size. 2. The same, magnified. 3. An inner scale of the Empalement. 4. The Receptacle, cleared of the scales and florets. 5. A female Floret, magnified. 6. The Pointal of the above, natural size. 7. The same magnified. This new species of Everlasting-flower was introduced to us, at the same time, with the X. spirale this work, Pl. CCLXII. by Montague Burgoyne, Esq. of Mark Hall, Essex, in the year 1801. It is a quick growing plant, and has flowered for the first time last April, when our drawing was taken. The flower stems grow to the length of eighteen inches, or more; and the buds, upon their first appearance, have a fine tint of flesh colour, which, however, totally disappears upon the expansion of the flower. It is propagated by cuttings, seeds, (which ripen in this country,) or by parting the branches at the root, as it makes many from one base, which are easily separated by passing a knife between them. It thrives best in sandy peat with a small portion of loam, and must be kept in an airy, dry part of the greenhouse. [Illustration] PLATE CCCXXVIII. GERANIUM BUBONIFOLIUM. _Macedonian-Parsley-leaved Geranium._ CLASS XVI. ORDER IV. _MONADELPHIA DECANDRIA._ Threads united. Ten Chives. ESSENTIAL GENERIC CHARACTER. MONOGYNA. Stigmata quinque. Fructus rostratus, pentacoccus. ONE POINTAL. Five Summits. Fruit furnished with long awns, five dry berries. SPECIFIC CHARACTER. Geranium foliis pinnatis, pinnis oppositis, lobatis, distantibus, lobis inciso-dentatis, glabris; petalis emarginatis, albis; staminibus quinque fertilibus; radice tuberosa. Geranium with winged leaves, wings opposite, lobed, distant, lobes deep cut and toothed, smooth; petals notched at the end, white, five fertile chives; root tuberous. REFERENCE TO THE PLATE. 1. The Cup cut and spread open. 2. The Chives and Pointal. 3. The Chives cut and spread open, magnified. 4. The Pointal, magnified. This Geranium, from the Cape of Good Hope, is quite distinct in its habit, from most of the tuberous species; the leaflets or wings of the leaves being more hand-shaped, and at a greater distance from each other, than in any which has come under our observation; having much the appearance of those of the plant from which we have derived its specific title. The plant was introduced by Mr. Niven, to the Clapham Collection, in 1800; where our drawing was taken in the month of June, 1802. The cultivation as usual, for the plants of this branch of the Geranium family. [Illustration] PLATE CCCXXIX. PHARNACEUM LINEARE. _Var. flo. albo._ _Linear-leaved Pharnaceum. White Var._ CLASS V.
