Geranium multisectum N.E.Br.

Clumped perennial herb, stock eventually thick (±15 mm diam.) and woody, stems spreading, decumbent or more or less erect, sometimes rooting when in contact with the ground, well-branched, herbaceous, pubescent, hairs appressed or somewhat spreading, sometimes with spreading gland-tipped hairs as well. Stipules deeply dissected, segments lanceolate-acuminate. Radical leaves tufted, petioles very long (up to ±300 mm), much longer than the blade, hairs often retrorse, strongly appressed to more or less spreading, spreading gland-tipped hairs sometimes present as well; blade seldom exceeding 50 mm diam., digitately cut to the base into usually 5 lobes, each lobe bipinnatisect, ultimate segments mostly 1-2 mm broad, linear, margins revolute, glabrous to sparsely hairy above, more densely so below, not always markedly discolorous, hairs appressed to somewhat spreading, spreading gland-tipped hairs sometimes present as well; cauline leaves similar, but uppermost petioles often short. Peduncles opposite the upper leaves and much exceeding them, hairy as the petioles, but often with gland-tipped hairs when the petioles lack them, usually 2-flowered. Pedicels seldom exceeding 40 mm long, hairy like the peduncles. Sepals (6-)7(-9) x (2.5-)3(-3.5) mm excluding mucro, appressed-pubescent, often with spreading hairs as well, gland-tipped or not. Petals (11-)15-17(-19) x (8-)10-13(-16) mm, obovate, usually shallowly notched, violet, purple or magenta. Rostrum with appressed or spreading hairs, spreading gland-tipped hairs sometimes present as well.
