Pelargonium ranunculophyllum flower

The flowers of Pelargonium ranunculophyllum grow on short pedicels in umbels on long peduncles well above the leaves. Only two or three flowers usually form one umbel.

Five narrow sepals tapering to pointed tips are positioned below the corolla, shorter than the petals. The sepals are pale green, covered in fine, white hairs, as present on the unopened buds in picture. The white or flesh-coloured corollas are small, the oblong petals narrow. The petal tips are rounded, square or shallowly notched. The upper two petals may have red or pinkish markings and curving back in their upper parts, the lower three are clear. 

The cluster of light pink anthers produce pale yellow to orange pollen, ripening before the five-branched style tip. Some of the stamens are shorter than the rest. The stigma is white to pale pink.

The small fruits are about 3 cm long (Gibby, 1989: Pelargonium ranunculophyllum (Geraniaceae) in southern Africa. South African Journal of Botany, 55(6), pp 539-542; iNaturalist; iSpot; htpps://www.pelargoniumspeciesworld.com).
