Geranium ornithopodum Eckl. & Zeyh.

Many-stemmed, clump-forming perennial herb, rootstock eventually thick and woody but not tuberous, stems of indeterminate length, straggling, decumbent or suberect, pilose with spreading or somewhat retrorse rather coarse eglandular hairs up to 1-25 mm long. Stipules deeply dissected, the segments linear-acuminate. Leaves with petioles mostly 25-100(-150) mm long, pilose with spreading eglandular hairs; blade up to 80 mm in diam., digitately 5-lobed more than halfway to the base (ratio 2-5-4:1), lobes oblong-elliptic in outline, with usually 2 coarse teeth each side in upper half, thinly pilose above with coarse spreading hairs, more densely so below with long spreading hairs over the veins. Peduncles opposite the upper leaves and terminal, forming spreading cymes, usually 2-flowered, 10-80 mm long, pilose with long spreading hairs, all or some gland-tipped, underlain by a unilateral band of fine curly hairs. Pedicels ±10-15 mm long, hairy as the peduncles. Sepals 4-5.5 x 2-3 mm, glandular-pilose, these hairs underlain by shorter, fine, eglandular ones. Petals 7-8(-10) x 4-6 mm, obovate, entire, pale pink with darker veins, or white. Rostrum pilose with fine eglandular hairs, long spreading gland-tipped ones as well.
