Erodium spp.

Post by **MWP admin** » Mon May 14, 2007 2:46 pm

I found a prostrate Erodium spp. which I think it is is E. cicutarium but I am not very sure. Your kind help is appreciated. It was found along a foothpath at the fields/garigue at Mgarr ix-Xini area.

thanks... My Erodiums are being sorted out except one which if I give up I will post it too. This looks like E. cicutarium in many respects but was found erect up to 80cm!! Not E. malacoides and leaves not like E. moschatum. hmmm... I need some time on haslam...

TNX Pine, I just want to point out that there is no need to repeat (reconfirm) IDs after jackpot, Weber, Edwin, etc

Quite useless hux! Immagine some 10 users have your habit and repeat "yes it's Abc xyz"!

On the other hand, if you have a doubt or don't agree on the ID then you can point it out (even after JP, Weber, Edwin etc.). I think you understand the point.

Piny: I confirm MWP that there is no need to repeat (reconfirm) IDs after Edwin`s, but there is an urgent need to repeat (reconfirm) IDs after jackpot.

.... but you can do as you wish if you find it important. Personally I find it useless knowing that such members are botanical experts.

The other erect Erodium I mentioned can be the very rare E. ciconium... I think the height was around 100cm. The leaves are very strange.

The latter Erodium can be something very hot. Many features are pointing to the very rare (extinct?) Erodium ciconium as the plant and sepals have glandular hairs!

I wonder what JP and Co. thinks
