Geraniospermum Malvifolium

Malvifolium geranium, scientifically known as Geraniospermum malvifolium, is a rare and striking plant native to the arid regions of southern Africa. This species belongs to the Geraniaceae family and is characterized by its vibrant pink to red flowers and heart-shaped leaves. Despite its beauty, it remains relatively obscure in botanical literature due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity. The plant thrives in rocky soils and is often found in dry, sun-exposed environments. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this unique species from habitat loss and over-collection.
