Stewart recorded it in N. Pakistan and Kashmir @ 1500-2400m. But the petals have rounded and entire apices in the specimens I have photographed in the UK.

Very beautiful small herb seen at Shakati Camp site at GHNP at an altitude of approx. 2300m. I saw this Geranium last year only near Joshimath. Readily identified with its leaves. Nice shots. I had also seen this plant during my Valley of Flower visit 2 years back.. Flowers looks very cute.. Surprisingly this species is not mentioned in “Flora of Great Himalayan National Park” (by S.K.Singh & G.S.Rawat). This does seem to match Geranium robertianum known as ‘Herb Robert’ in the UK where it is very common. I took some close-up images locally last year which I have added to the Geranium page I have started on my Wild Flowers of Buckinghamshire (a county in the UK) site – which I have neglected since joining this group!
