Erodium haradjianii P.H.Davis (syn E. abs. subsp. haradjianii (Davis)Davis).


This species has leaves similar to E. latifolium in shape, broad oblong-ovate, length 1.5 times their width, but with segments lobed only to the middle, with short obtuse teeth. Leaves with long adpressed hairs and short glandular hairs, giving them a greyish appearance.


Flowering stems again have 1 to 2 peduncles bearing 3 to 6 white flowers in July and August.

Photos. Good reliable photos of Erodiums (except the more common species) on the internet are few and far between. You cannot just believe the names given but need to check the photos with the descriptions, and known localities for the species. The following are photos are reliable but photos of other species on the same site may not be!

For E. haradjianii Good pictures of E. haradjianii labelled as a subspecies of absinthoides.
