Pelargonium inquinans, Ait. (Geranium Inquinans, Linn.). Fish Geranium. Fig. 2836. Plant more velvety than P. zonale, sometimes more or less viscid, the lvs. not zoned: lvs. long-petioled, orbicular-reniform, crenate, only obscurely many-lobed, velvety and somewhat viscid: calyx-tube densely glandular and viscid, 3-4 times longer than the lanceolate segms.; petals broadly obovate, scarlet, but now varying to lighter colors.— "Among shrubs and on hillsides." This is the Geranium inquinans of Linnaeus, who founded the species on previous descriptions. One of the descriptions (Dillenius, in "Hortus Elthamensis," 1732) was accompanied by a picture, and this picture, reduced, is reproduced in Fig. 2836. It will be seen that even in that early day the species had varied into a form w4h short- notched petals and short pedicels. Intro, into England in 1714. Said by Harvey ,(1859-60) to be the parent of most of the "scarlet geraniums" of English gardens. CH
