Pelargonium acetosum, the sorrel cranesbill or sorrel-leaved pelargonium, is a species of flowering plant in the family Geraniaceae, native to the eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa.[1] A perennial reaching 60 cm (24 in) with salmon‑pink flowers, it is available from commercial suppliers.[2] The sour‑tasting young leaves are eaten in South Africa in a manner similar to sorrel (Rumex acetosa).[1]
