Geranium macrorrizum
It has five-lobed (palmate) leaves that are aromatic when crushed, with pale pink flowers in summer.
It is native to the South east Alps and the Balkans.
The plant is used for medical purposes in the traditional herbal medicine since it possesses high antimicrobial properties. Essential oil is prepared from it so it is also used in aromatherapy.
