This genus contains a few low-growing, hardy herba- ceous perennial plants, with finely cut foliage and fls. suggesting our wild and hardy Geraniums, from which they differ in having only 5 instead of 10 anther-bearing stamens, the other 5 being reduced to scales; also the tails of the carpels hairy inside. The common Gera- niums of our home windows and summer flower-beds are the blended product of Pelargonium sonale and P. inquinans, and originally had the 2 upper petals dis- tinctly smaller than the 3 lower ones, as do the other wild Pelargoniums from the Cape of Good Hope, while Erodium and the true genus. Geranium, of which a few sorts are cultivated in our hardy borders, have all 5 petals nearly equal in size. They also have small glands alternating with the petals, which are absent from Pelargonium. Erodium has about 50 widely scat- tered species. Herbs, rarely somewha
