Pelargonium capitatum inflorescence hosting a bee; the corbicula displays the colour of the pollen
Pelargonium capitatum is one of several species (including Pelargonium graveolens) known as rose geranium[1] or rose-scented pelargonium in English. The popular names refer to the scent of the essential oils extracted from glandular tissue, not the flowers, which have hardly any scent to speak of. Some of the species are known as kusmalva (meaning, roughly, "coastal geranium") in Afrikaans.
It is in the subgenus Pelargonium along with Pelargonium graveolens, Pelargonium tomentosum and Pelargonium crispum.
