Geranium sylvaticum
Wood cranesbill or Woodland geranium is a hardy herbaceous perennial of Geraniaceae family, growing up to some 70 cm in height. Pinkish flowers of some 3cm in diameter.
Associated with forests,and usually observed on edges of mountain forests - here , on edges of mixed forest of Jura Natural Reserve, at some 900 m of altitude.
Some literature mentioned that the plant possess antihemorrhagic and cicatrizant (would healing) effects; as well as generally fortifying properties... but I did not find how t is used.
