P. lobatum
Section Polyactium
This plant I got some years ago, and it finally flowered this summer.
Must say I had hoped for a darker variety of P. lobatum ;-)
P. articulatum
Section Ciconium.
P. cortusifolium
Section Cortusina.
Grown from seed.
P. endlicherianum
Native to Turkey and north of Syria P. endlicherianum is the most northerly-growing and hardy pelargonium.
Currently sectionless, formerly placed in Jenkinsonia.
Grown from seed.
P. coronopifolium
P. coronopifolium belongs to the section Campylia.
Here a white flowering form of P. coronopifolium grown from seed. (The flowers usually are pink to purple).
The leaves are thick and leathery.
P. tetragonum
Unusual looking pelargonium in the section Chorisma.
P. tetragonum with cream flowers above, and with pink flowers below.
Buds.
A young plant with leaves.
P. alpinum
P. alpinum was earlier placed in section Ligularia, but I believe it is now placed in Pelargonium.
Growing P. alpinum from seed I got two different plants, some with zoned leaves and some without.

P. tricolor
Section Campylia
Pelargonium species native to south-western Cape Province, SA.
P. tricolor has narrow leaves. The smaller ones to the left are from the flower branches, and the ones to the right are from the main branches.
P. tricolor builds new branches from the root – something that I’ve never experienced its hybrids do.
I find P. tricolor easy to grow outside or in the greenhouse in summer, but a little more tricky to get it through winter inside under artificial light.
