Etymology

From translingual Pelargonium.

Noun

pelargonium (plural pelargoniums or pelargonia)

Any of various flowering plants of the genus Pelargonium, commonly called geraniums.

Usage notes

Geranium is also the genus of plants commonly known as cranesbills. The cause of the confusion is that the two genera were earlier regarded as being one, called Geranium.
