Original material: Herb. Clifford: 345, Geranium 16 ( BM) ; [icon] in Martyn, Hist. Pl. Rar.: 15, t. 15. 1728; [icon] in Dillenius, Hort. Eltham. 1: 154, t. 128, f. 155. 1732.

Note: Van der Walt (in Bothalia 15: 382. 1985) treated 858.5 (LINN) as the lectotype, but the sheet lacks the relevant Species Plantarum number (i.e. “4”) and was a post-1753 addition to the collection, and not original material for the name.
