Abstract. The derivation and integration of hipercomplex functions have been investigated along the years, see [#!1!#], [#!2!#], [#!3!#]. The main purpose of this brief article is to give a geometrical interpretation for quaternionic derivatives, based on a recent determination of a Cauchy-like formula for quaternions, see [#!14!#].
