Notes

Erodium latifolium (Davis) R.T.F. Clifton (syn. E. abs. subsp. latifolium (Davis)Davis).

Leaves: This has leaves that are ovate, shorter, only 1.5 times their width, more simply 1-2-pinnatifid, with short obtuse teeth, leaf surface is subsericeous, making the leaves rather silvery.

Inflorescence: The flowering stems have only 1 or 2 peduncles of bright pink flowers in June and July.

Distribution: It is only found in one location on rough scree limestone in Turkey; province Trabzon at 2500m. Many details are missing from the description of this species (as there is with the others) and a good study in the field (if it is still there!) is needed to fill the gaps.
