Erodium malacoides (L.) L'Hér. x Geranium malacoides L.

Erodium chium: Annual; stem ascending, sparingly branched, 10–50 cm, usually with deflexed hairs near base. Lower leaves long-petiolate; blade ovate, pinnatifid, with few rounded, bluntly dentate lobes; upper leaves smaller, subsessile, acutely dentate. Umbel 3–8-flowered; bracts 3–5. Petals 5–9 mm, slightly longer than sepals, rounded at apex, pinkish-purple. Mericarps strigose, with a rounded, rather deep, usually glabrous and glossy pit at top; beak 3–4 cm.

Μοιάζει με το E. chium, αλλά διαφέρει στα ακόλουθα: Leaves long-petiolate, oblong, undivided or shallowly lobed, serrate; apical pit of mericarp with multicellular glands and a wide furrow below the pit; beak somewhat shorter (18–35 mm).

Κοινό αλλά λίγο δύσκολο να τα ξεχωρίσεις ανάμεσα σε όλες τις άλλες γερανιίδες της εποχής. Περισσότερες πληροφορίες στη Χλωρίδα μας, Φυτολόγιο, greekflora.gr, Flora of Greece.
