As the author one of the (three!) books on hellebores (of all things!) I
agree that the geranium field is not fully covered but Diana Miller's
recent botanical work on the genus Pelargonium is outstanding.
It so happens that I work occasionally as consultant to a British publisher
of gardening books - with a book on geraniums on the way: 1000 Pelargoniums
by Hazel Key should be out in the UK in June and in the USA in July - it
has 1000 colour pictures! But what specific group of geraniums still need
coverage - apart from Angels? Coloured-leaved types perhaps?
