Pelargonium domesticum class. Common, Show, Fancy, and Lady Washington Geraniums (or Pelargoniums). Fig. 2845. This name distinguishes the garden type of florist's and fancy pelargonium. The race is said to be derived chiefly from P. cucullatum, P. angulosum, and P. grandiflorum, but the writer can see little evidence of the blood of P. grandiflorum. It seems to be nearest to P. cucullatum, having the cucullate or disk- shaped not lobed lvs. and mostly the soft-hairiness of that species. In many of them, however, the lvs. are distinctly angle-lobed, suggesting P. angulosum. P. domesticum is meant to comprise the whole range of garden forms of the Show or Lady Washington pelargoniums. The name will enable one to talk about these garden plants with precision. To many of these garden forms specific botanical names have been given, so that P. domesticum is not the first name that has been applied in this group, but the writer is not aware that any collective or group name has been given. Sweet, in particular, has given Latin names to various forms. These old names, however, apply to particular historical forms, and it would be violence to enlarge their application to cover the entire group, and it would be difficult to choose any one of them as more applicable, under botanical rules, than others. It is probably also inaccurate to call this garden form either P. cucullatum or P. angnlosum. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
