Dove's-foot cranesbill & Small-flowered cranesbill (Geranium molle L. & Geranium pusillum L.)
Two common, low-growing, softly hairy annual or biennial herbs found in pastures, lawns, and waste places. Geranium molle (A) features sprawling stems covered in long, soft spreading hairs, carrying small rounded leaves and pairs of small pinkish-purple flowers where the petals are deeply notched. Geranium pusillum (B) is a smaller, more compact plant with fine, short appressed hairs, carrying tiny pale lilac flowers with faintly notched petals and only five fertile stamens.
details: The comparative plate features a large, sprawling specimen of species A with creeping, pinkish stems, rounded lobed leaves, and numerous tiny magenta-pink flowers rising from a small taproot base. To the left, a smaller detached stem template represents species B with its distinct rounded foliage and smaller pale flowers. Highly magnified details include an individual open blossom of species A showing its heavily haired calyx lobes, a single heavily wrinkled brown seed capsule segment of species A, and a single smooth orange-brown seed of species B.
