Erodium moschatum from California:<\/a> As there seems to be some confusion between <\/span>Geranium<\/i>, I am uploading some to remove confusion.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Genus Geranium<\/i> and Erodium<\/i> <\/font>are easily recognised by former having palmately lobed leaves and <\/font>latter pinnate compound or pinnately lobed leaves. <\/font>The fruits of two look similar, former having large range in flower size and latter usually smaller flowers.<\/div>\n
Here is Erodium moschatum<\/i> from California<\/font> easily separated by its much larger leaves with shallowly lobed broader segments. <\/div>\n
