Monsonia (named for Lady Ann Monson, correspondent of Linniaeus). Geraniaceae. Erect or decumbent herbs or shrubs, sometimes grown under glass as are pelargoniums.
Annual or perennial, mostly with slender sts.: lvs. alternate or opposite, crenate-dentate or dissected, stipulate: peduncles axillary or rarely nearly basal, bracteate, 2- to many-fld., or rarely 1-fld. by abortion; fls. white, rose-colored, red, purplish, regular; sepals and petals and glands 5; stamens 15, all fertile, connate at base; ovary 5-lobed and 5-celled, beaked: valves of fr. 1-seeded, revolutely dehiscing.—Species 29 as accepted by Knuth in Engler's Das Pflanzenreich, hft. 53 (1912), African, 2 or 3 extending into Asia. Probably the species most likely to be met with in cult.are M. lobata, Mont., and M. speciosa, Linn, f., suffruticose plants 1 ft. or so high, from S. Afr. The former has lvs. cordate and 5-7-lobed, and fls. greenish and variegated outside and pale bluish inside with darker center. B.M. 385. The latter has lvs. palmately 5-parted and lobes 2-pinnatifid, and fls. rose-colored with darker eye. B.M. 73.
