Pelargonium ochroleucum Harv.
Pelargonium ochroleucum belongs to the group of pelargoniums with turnip-shaped tubers known as section Hoarea.
Different colour shades of the posterior and anterior petals are not uncommon, but in Pelargonium ochroleucum we have a most unusual situation with two different colours, white and yellow in one flower. Harvey, in his original description mentioned that ‘the petals also are of a colour unusual in this section; the two upper petals being greenish yellow, the lower ones white.’
