Travis I put + for your suggestion... Their anthers are are identical. My guessed flowers are very tiny... and no match with these...

Hi Ashish, The flowers of Geranium are radially symmetrical. Flowers of all the Scrophs are irregular. Here are some good photos of G. maculatum: http://www.wildflower.org/plants/result....

Plantaginaceae is new family classified in which plant is newly added if this is of Stemodia sp.
