Erodium armenum (Trautv.)Woronow
This species is similar to E. absinthoides but with stems green, with patent hairs and often bearing subsessile glands.
Leaves are similar, again narrowly oblong with lanceolate acute ultimate lobes, but are greener, grey green rather than silvery, adpressed pilose.
Inflorescence: Flowering stems again have 1 to 12 peduncles, but flowers are lavender blue, flowering much later, in July and August. Beak is shorter at 3.5 to 4cm.
Distribution: This species is found on rocky slopes at a much higher level than E. absinthoides, at 2300 to 3200m, in Armenia, Georgia and eastern Turkey, in provinces Kars, Batman, Bitlis, Erzincan, Erzurum, Van, Bayburt, an area with no overlap with the population of E. Absinthoides.
Plants in cultivation usually have much greener leaves than those in the wild.
