The trifoliolate or sometimes unifoliolate leaves of Pelargonium laevigatum grow alternately on sturdy stalks. The three lobes are narrow and variably toothed, the central one longest. The leaves are hairless or sparsely hairy, slightly succulent and glaucous (grey-green or bluish). The leaf midrib may be visible, particularly in the lower part of the leaf. A leaf may become 5 cm long and 1 cm wide (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2010; Moriarty, 1997; www.plantzafrica.com).
