Pelargonium crithmifolium

Succulent perennial shrub. Trunks are gray and bulky, but turn green in summer when leaves are absent. The leaves are pinnate. White flowers are produced on panicles that later dry and become spiny. Dried panicles are often retained until the next season.

Distribution in the Hex
