Description

[ Back to top ]

Genus Geranium

Annual or perennial herbs. Leaves usually alternate, stipulate , variously divided . Peduncles (1-) 2-flowered. Flowers often showy, regular, usually 5-merous. Petals alternating with 5 nectiferous glands . Stamens (5-) 10, staminodes occasional. Carpels usually 5, adnate , separating septifragally from the central axis at maturity. Ovary 5-lobed. Fruit schizocarpic, of 5 mericarps which remain attached to an elastically coiling stylar axis upwards; mericarps without apical pits.

A genus of c. 400 species, mainly distributed in the temperate zone of N. Hemisphere, but also in the tropics. Represented in Pakistan by 22 species. The large flowered perennials are difficult to key out satisfactorily unless there is ample information on the nature of the underground parts, flower colour, shape and size of the leaves and the fruits. In the key that follows, I have used the following terminology: segments for primary division of leaves; lobes for secondary division . The sepal length excludes the awn . The beak length (in fruit) excludes the styles.[1]

Physical Description

Species Geranium rotundifolium

Annuals . Stem 10-40 cm tall, erect , not rooting at nodes, with 0.2-1.2 mm patent nonglandular trichomes and 0.2-0.6 mm patent glandular trichomes. Stipules lanceolate, distinct . Leaves opposite; petiole with 0.2-1 mm patent nonglandular trichomes and 0.2-0.6 mm patent glandular trichomes; leaf blade 1.2-3.3 cm, palmately cleft , ratio of main sinus/middle segment length = 0.55-0.65, pilose with appressed nonglandular and sometimes glandular trichomes; segments 5, obtriangular, 5-10 mm wide at base , (3-) 6-8-lobed at apex, ratio of second sinus/middle segment length = 0.13-0.2. Cymules solitary, 2-flowered; peduncle 1.8-3 cm. Pedicel 0.7-2 cm, with 0.3-1 mm patent nonglandular trichomes and 0.3-0.6 mm patent glandular trichomes; bracteoles linear-lanceolate. Sepals 4.5-6 mm, mucro 0.3-0.6 mm, ratio of mucro/sepal length = 0.06-0.1, outside with 0.4-1 mm patent nonglandular trichomes and 0.4-0.9 mm patent glandular trichomes, inside glabrous . Petals purplish, 6-7 mm, erect to patent, both surfaces glabrous or sometimes inside with scattered trichomes, apex rounded . Staminal filaments whitish, lanceolate, basally slightly dilated , glabrous except proximal half with some 0.1-0.2 mm cilia; anthers yellowish, ca. 0.5 mm. Nectaries 5, hemispheric , glabrous. Stigma reddish. Fruit 1.6-1.8 cm, erect when immature ; mericarps smooth , with a basal callus, with 0.2-0.3 mm ± patent nonglandular trichomes; rostrum 1.2-1.3 cm, with a 2-3 mm narrowed apex; stigmatic remains 1-1.2 mm. Seeds 1.8-2 mm. Fl. May-Jun, fr. Jun-Jul. 2n = 26. [source]

The general appearance of this species is much like Geranium molle or G. pusillum, and it occasionally has been misidentified with these species. However, its rounded petals and smooth mericarps permit an easy identification, which also could be supported by its subspherical and remarkably reticulate seeds. [source]

Habit: Forb/herb

Habitat

Steppes ; 900-1400 m [2].

Typically found at an altitude of 0 to 2,353 meters (0 to 7,720 feet).[3]
