Alok ji Geranium wallichianum can be easily differentiated from other large flowered species (G. collinum, G. grevilleanum, G. wallichianum, G. tuberaria) in that stipules are very large (1-2 cm long), very broad (ovate-oblong) and often common between two leaves on each side(due to fusion of two adjacent stipules; may be often bifid). In other species the stipules are very narrow, linear, usually less than 1 cm long and two between two adjacent leaves on each side (they are free not united).
