| In Pelargonium the flower is zygomorphic with a spurred posterior sepal and the petals differing in size or shape. |
| The flowers of the vast majority of the species are zygomorphic with bilateral symmetry. |
| For example, the weakly zygomorphic flower is scarlet, shows diurnal anthesis and has a backwardly curved labellum. |
| The gynoecium is on the median plane of these zygomorphic flowers and not oblique as described in taxonomic literature. |
| Zygomorphic flowers are monosymmetric having a single line of symmetry. |
| The flowers are comparatively small, hermaphrodite, short pedicellate, complete, zygomorphic, pentamerous, polypetalous, hypogynous and light cream in colour with an average length of 1.14 cm. |
