Stellenbosch University Botanical Garden, South Africa

Common name: Cranesbills

Family: Geraniaceae (Geranium)

IUCN Red list: Not evaluated

Comments: Geranium flowers have 5 very similar petals, and are thus radially symmetrical (actinomorphic), whereas pelargonium flowers have 2 upper petals which are different from the 3 lower petals, so the flowers have a single plane of symmetry (zygomorphic).
