Did you know... that Herb Robert, a species of cranesbill, is believed by traditional herbologists to be a toothache palliative?

Pictures

I've moved user:Sannse's picture into the taxobox - I have begun to worry that the one I had there might in fact be a fillaree, which though in a different genus seems almost impossible for a non-botanist to distinguish from Herb Robert. Sannse's example comes from Europe (mine came from California) where the risk of this confusion doesn't exist so far as I know. And it's a better picture, too. seglea 01:12, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Move

Is there a reason this article shouldn't be moved to Geranium robertianum? Murderbike (talk) 21:40, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(4 months later...) Looks like it's been done and the redirect is working just fine. (Wish I knew how to do stuff like that). EatYerGreens (talk) 10:25, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe we're confused. when I put in Herb Robert, I get Herb Robert, not a redirect to Geranium robertianum like I should. whatever. I'll just fix it. Murderbike (talk) 22:18, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Search terms

This plant self seeded into two locations in my back yard - a large one at the edge of a drain cover (only traces of soil) and a smaller one in an unused plant pot - but I had no idea what it was called. I tried search terms like "oak-like leaves" "red stems" and "five petals", all to no avail. It was only after seeing a television programme where the (Herb Robert) name was given that I was able to find this article at all and now I can see why. I am not going to alter the wording but "fern-like", "reddish stems" and no textual reference to number of petals were what tripped me up. It's a pity that encyclopoedias aren't designed to work that way around. EatYerGreens (talk) 10:43, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WA, USA law

This is a class B noxious weed species in parts of the state.[1] Clark89 (talk) 23:50, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Introduced / noxious / red robin

It is unclear whether the article is talking about red robin or herb robert with respect to "it" being introduced and classified as a noxious weed (because the introductory sentence of paragraph 2 is about red robin). I'm assuming herb robert. Nor is it clear why herb robert might be confused with red robin. The introduction could do with explaining where herb robert is native.
