Pelargonium grossularioides
Also called Coconut Geranium, Gooseberry Leaf Pelargonium, Coconut Pelargonium, Coconut Storksbill, Gooseberry Pelargonium, Coconut Scented Pelargonium, Gooseberry Leaved Pelargonium
Pelargonium grossularioides is a species of geranium known by the common names gooseberry geranium and coconut geranium. It grows primarily in the subtropical biome and is native to Cape Provinces, Free State (province), KwaZulu-Natal, Mozambique, and Tristan da Cunha. It is known in coastal California, Kenya, and parts of India as an introduced species. It is sometimes grown as a garden geranium.
Its common names come from the resemblance of the leaves to those of gooseberry and from the coconut scent of the leaves.
