Erect subshrub, aromatic with "rose geranium" (attar of roses) scent. Leaves somewhat harsh. Flowers subregular, pink with purple markings on upper 2 petals. Petals 1.3-1.8cm long, oblanceolate; upper 2 larger than lower 3. Style lobes rosy-purple. Leaf lobes wider than usual in flowering shoots of Pelargonium Xasperum in New Zealand, but otherwise a good match for it.
