Pelargonium torulosum A tuberous species from Cape Province in South Africa, Klipplaat, Sutherland in sandy soil under bushes. Note the small tubers, which spread at ground level. (Section Ligularia). Photos David Victor.
Pelargonium triandrum A tuberous species from the Cape Province, in South Africa, along the Olifantsrivier from Clanwilliam to Algeria. It grows on sandstone in broken succulent veld or dry fynbos. This species has four petalled flowers, which may be cream to pale yellow, with wine red feathering on the upper two. Note the prominent stamens, presumably for a particular pollinator (see also P. oblongatum, which is not closely related). It flowers from October to December. The name is derived from the fact that it has only three, very long fertile stamens. (Section Hoarea, punctatum group).
Pelargonium trifoliolatum A tuberous species from the South Western Cape of South Africa, on the western escarpment, from Piketberg to Groot Drakenstein. It grows on clay soils in renosterveld and sand in fynbos. Flowers can be cream, yellow or pink, with wine red blotches on the knees of the petals. It flowers from October to January. The name refers to the incision of the leaves. (Section Hoarea, Heterophyllum Group). Photos David Victor.
Pelargonium triste is a geophyte with a large subterranean tuber and tuberous roots with carrot like leaves and flowers that are dull yellowish green to browninsh purple edged with a lighter margin. It grows in sandy flats and lower slopes over a broad region of the Cape Province and also can be found in bloom over a long period.
