Taxonomy: Fam. Geraniaceae// Genus: Geranium// Species: Geranium molle L.
Variability: Determined as Geranium brutium Gasp. according to the botanical keys provided in The Flora of the Republic of Macedonia (Micevski and Matevski, 2005) and Flora Europaea (Tutin et al., 1968). This taxon is not accepted at the species rank by the Euro+Med PlantBase, and is considered a synonym of Geranium molle L. The specimens from Osogovo show the typical distinguishing characteristics that separate G. brutium from G. molle: lowest leaf of inflorescence shorter than the subtended pedicel, with the petiole shorter to scarcely longer than the lamina.
Lifeform: Annual; Therophyte according to the Raunkiær system.
Distribution: According to the Plants of the World Online portal, G. brutium is native to Europe (France, Italy, Balkan Peninsula) and West Asia (Turkey), while G. molle has a wider distribution (Macaronesia, N. Africa, Europe to Iran).
Habitat: Grassland, among trees and bushes, rocks, alongside roads.
Flowering period: Spring (APR, MAY).
