Pelargonium lanceolatum

Sprawling shrublet to 30 cm. The leaves are leathery, narrowly egg-shaped (ovate) to broadly lance-shaped (lanceolate) and milky green. It bears 1 or 2 large and showy white or pale yellow flowers throughout the year.

Unlike most Pelargonium species, the subgroup to which P. lanceolatum belongs is not particularly aromatic.
