Erodium
''Erodium'' is a genus of flowering plants in the botanical family Geraniaceae. The genus includes about 120 species with a subcosmopolitan distribution, native plant, native to Europe, North Africa, Asia, Australia, and more locally in North America, North and South America. They are perennials, annual plant, annuals, or subshrubs, with five-petalled flowers in shades of white, pink, and purple, that strongly resemble the better-known ''Geranium'' (crane's-bills). In English-speaking areas of Europe, the species are known as stork's-bills. In North America they are known as filarees or heron's bill. Taxonomy Carl Linnaeus grouped in the same genus (''Geranium''), the three similar genera ''Erodium'', ''Geranium'', and ''Pelargonium''. The distinction between them was made by Charles Louis L'Héritier de Brutelle based on the number of stamens or anthers; five in ''Erodium'',Parnell, J. and Curtis. ''Webb's An Irish Flora.''

Geranium
''Geranium'' is a genus of 422 species of annual, biennial, and perennial plants that are commonly known as geraniums or cranesbills. They are found throughout the temperate regions of the world and the mountains of the tropics, with the greatest diversity in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region. The palmately cleft leaves are broadly circular in form. The flowers have five petals and are coloured white, pink, purple, or blue, often with distinctive veining. Geraniums will grow in any soil as long as it is not waterlogged. Propagation is by semiripe cuttings in summer, by seed, or by division in autumn or spring. Geraniums are eaten by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including brown-tail, ghost moth, and mouse moth. At least several species of ''Geranium'' are gynodioecious. The species '' Geranium viscosissimum'' (sticky geranium) is considered to be protocarnivorous. Name The genus name is derived from Ancient Greek (''géranos'') ' crane'. The Engl ...
