Geranium traversii var. elegans Cockayne

Var. elegans Ckn. in T.N.Z.I. 34, 1902, 320.

Fls rather larger, petals pink, veined on upper surface with fine lines of darker pink.

Described from garden plants, but Cheeseman (Ill. N.Z. Fl. 1, 1914, t. 55) states that "a pink-flowered variety has been found in a wild state, and appears to retain its characters under cultivation". When offset plants are well-developed the "Hen and Chickens" effect is striking.
