There are at least three species of Geranium that occur at high altitudes in the ACT. To distinguish between them I need good photos of the whole plant showing how long the flower stem is in relation to the basal leaves, a sideways on photo of the flower showing the shape of the sepals, and a closeup of the stem showing what sort of hairs it has. To distinguish Geranium potentilloides var. potentilloides from var. abditum, a minimum of a photo of the flower stalk showing how far up the stalk the bracteoles are, and preferably a good macro shot of mature seeds, are needed.
