Pelargonium incarnatum

Pelargonium incarnatum, sometimes commonly known as the ring storksbill and previously as Erodium incarnatum, is a montane perennial, growing branches to 30 cm in height. It is weak-stemmed, i.e. sometimes prostrate. The plant resprouts from its underground rootstock after fire.

The species distribution is in the southwest of the Western Cape from the Worcester to the Kogelberg and the Riviersonderend Mountains.

The habitat is rocky fynbos slopes on sandstone. The plants often grow under bigger shrubs. The species is not considered to be threatened in its habitat early in the twenty first century (Manning, 2007; Bean and Johns, 2005; iNaturalist; http://pza.sanbi.org; http://redlist.sanbi.org).
