The lobes of the leaves of native species of Pelargonium are blunt. Those of Pelargonium x domesticum are acute, which these appear to be.

I have had a look at photos of Pelargonium x domesticum on the web. A lot of the leaves are not pointed, but do have acute teeth. I wonder whether that is what the key in Plantnet meant. Vicflora key separates them on petal length - over 10 mm in exotics, usually under 10 mm in natives, and whether they are odoriferous - yes in exotics, no in natives. Could you write some field notes about those two points?

It was a long way to go back to this sighting so I went to a local patch http://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Sightings/Details/3375353 to refresh my memory. They are the same species P. australe. Some of the Murrumbidgee ones had buds and the local Isaacs ones had fresh leaves but that is probably the local environments.
