Key characteristics
Geranium skottsbergii is easily distinguished by its deeply divided leaves with narrow lobes and relatively long petals. It may be confused with G. berteroanum, which has shorter petals and less divided leaves. Geranium core-core, which is also present in central Chile, has leaves that are less divided than G. skottsbergii, stems with shorter hairs and relatively wider sepals (Aedo et al, 2005)
