    The upper parts of a Geranium robustum plant in flower is relatively short on leaves when stem elongation and branching set the scene for flower production. What leaves there are appear bract-like in few thread-shaped sections at the nodes. The internodes are long, yellow green and soft-haired. Some of the branching appears dichotomous.

    The flowers grow in sparse stem-tip groups. Flower pedicels are about 6 cm long. The calyx lobes are about 9 mm long and 3 mm wide. Flowering happens from late spring to after midautumn (Manning, 2009; Pooley, 1998; iNaturalist).
