The genus Geranium (Geraniaceae) which contains about 400 species
recognised, is a widespread group of vascular plants, absent only in tropical
lowlands, deserts and polar regions. After Knuth’s (1912) monograph, several
regional accounts as well as some detailed studies on some sections were published,
but no comprehensive taxonomic treatment is nowadays available.
The author of this page is involved in a new revision supported by a database system in order to
improve consistence and accessibility. Considering this revision is still
far from the ending, it could be useful to make some of the database
available –even being not finished yet.
