Geranium richardson, mountain cranesbill

 A milder version of the other wild geraniums. Foliage can be used the same as the root. Good astringent for lower gut. Be careful not to confuse the leaf with aconite - don't pick if it doesn't have flowers. Good as mouthwash, sore gums, eye wash, etc - mild astringent.
