Cynthia if you want the Complete list of Pelargonium species (and all the
Geraniaceae for that matter ) you should obtain a copy of the Geraniaceae
Group Check Lists.
For detailed info and drawings get hold of Pelargoniums of South Africa
Vols. 1-3 by Vorster and de Walt the acknowledged world experts in
Pelargonium.
My web site lists them all without descriptions ( including division into
sub-genera) but you will find several hundred (about 600 ) photoes .
I have all ways invited interested persons to contact me if they wish to
obtain my detailed notes on any species.
Regards Alby
Geraniaceae Is All Around The World
