5. Geranium carolinianum L. (Fernald. Geranium carolinianum and 

 allies of northeastern North America. Rhodora 37: 295-301. 1935.) Map

 floras do not list it and others record it as found in waste places and fields 

 and along roadsides and railroads.

 to those of the species. Fernald gives the distribution as follows :
