Syn: Geranium cicutarium L.
Common names: Common stork’s bill; common erodium; common crowfoot
Genus Erodium is distinct from Geranium in pinnate compound leaves and 5 fertile stamens
More or less spreading annual herb with ascending branches,; leaves pinnatisect, up to 12 cm long, segments further cleft into small acute lobes; stipules triangular-lanceolate, 2-5 mm long; flowers purple, 7-10 mm across in 3-8 flowered umbellate clusters, on up to 7 cm long hairy peduncles, reflexed in fruit; bracts connate, ovate, ciliate; pedicel up to 2 cm long; sepals 3-6 mm long in fruit, glandular-pubescent, ovate; petals slightly longer than sepals, purple, some times with black spots at base, obovate, claw ciliate; filaments with dilated base; mericarps 5-6 mm long with 3 mm long beak.
Very common along roadsides and wastelands. Photographed from Kashmir. First time observing any Erodium sp. Thanks for sharing. Pinnatisect leaves are unique so far in this family week.

Help ID this weed with small pink flowers. Quite prevalent on roadsides One more picture of the same weed Erodium cicutarium Couldn’t notice that it is a Geraniaceae member due to closed flowers. … has IDed it in spite of that.
Plant from Kashmir has flowers in umbel and ultimate leaf segments are a bit differently shaped. May be a different species. Seeing it first time. Erodium species in efi so far Providing the keys to species of Erodium occurring in India, as given by Malhotra (1997) in Flora of India vol-4 published by BSI. Hope it will help in determining ID. A. Beak of mericarps plumose on ventral face with long soft cilia ……….. E.oxyrrhynchum A’ A’. Beak of mericarps ventrally clothed with rigid setae that disappear towards tip B. Leaves velvety beneath clothed with rigid setae that disappear towards tip.. E.tibetanum B’. Leaves not velvety beneath, shortly pubescent, sepals awned or mucronate, mericarps pitted below beak C. Sepals awned, filaments toothed on one side ………….. E.stephanianum C’. Sepals mucronate, filaments glabrous, not toothed D. Apical pits of mericarp glandular …………. E.moschatum D’. Apical pits of mericarps eglandular ………. E.cicutarium The species known from Uttarakhand are E.cicutarium and E.stephanianum. Of these E.stephanianum have long awned sepals, as long as breadth of sepal, which once again suggest it as E.cicutarium. Probably doubt expressed by me earlier is doubtful now. I think E. cicutarium which shows a lot of variation in segmentation of leaves in populations I have seen in Kashmir. E. stephanium which looks similar has very long awns on sepals very conspicuous. E. moschatum which has become naturalised recently has different leaves, leaflets split not even up to 1/4 depth, whereas in E. cicutarium there are generally split to middle or even deeper. I have photographed it in California. …(deliberately or not) has correctly omitted the error in the original key of Flora of India. Thanks for the discussion … I should now take this as Erodium cicutarium..

This flower was growing wild in the lawns of the Bratislava castle, Slovakia in May 2016.
Is this some Erodium species? Geranium cicutarium? Geranium cicutarium Thank you … for the ID. Geranium cicutarium is also known as Erodium cicutarium.
wild flower for ID (26/06/2011 NSJ-01) Geranium, Species can’t be ascertained without clear view of leaves. This looks different from images we have so far as per comparative images at Geranium
. Erodium: 1 high res. image. Pl. check https://efloraofindia.com/2011/02/28/erodium/ Erodium cicutarium Yes, appears close to images at . J&K, Mattan, April 2023 :: Erodium for confirmation :: ARK2023-025: 3 high res. images. These flowers were captured at the Martand Surya mandir in Mattan near Pahalgam, J&K in April 2023.
Guessing them to be Erodium cicutarium based on eFI and FoI pics.
Requested to please confirm. Erodium cicutarium Yes Erodium cicutarium. .
