Pelargonium cucullatum subsp. strigifolium

Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Pelargonium acerifolium, L'Her. One of the Pelargium section, allied to No. 20, inserted here because Geranium citriodorum is a name in the trade and the G. citriodorum, Cav., is considered to be referable to P. acerifolium: the species P. acerifolium is shrubby or subshrubby, 3-4 ft. tall, glaucous-green, differing from P. angulosum (of which Harvey makes it a variety) in having the lvs. more cuneate at base, more deeply lobed, and more scabrous. S. Afr.—Kunth, in his recent Monograph, keeps the species distinct. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
