Geranium robertianum (Geraniaceae) 127 19
Geranium robertianum is a common species of cranesbill native to Europe and parts of Asia, North America, and North Africa.
It grows as a procumbent to erect annual or biennial plant, up to fifty centimeters high, producing small, pink, five-petalled flowers (8–14 mm in diameter from April until the autumn. The leaves are deeply dissected, ternate to palmate, and the stems often reddish; the leaves also turn red at the end of the flowering season.
