The Gardeners Guide to Growing Hardy Geraniums (Trevor Bath and Joy Jones)
is a beautiful book (gorgeous photographs) and does have an a-z list of
species and varieties although I suspect it could be hard to use to identify
random varieties.
It is a nice book to have anyway. After reading it, I started collecting
the things like a trainspotter. It will alow you to identify the obvious
ones although I suspect it will not work for many.

You can get it easily on Amazon.

Best key I have found is in Peter Yeo's book, called "Hardy Geraniums"

Jill has a lot of expertise with geraniums and so will probably have
some very good books as well if you emailed her, I'm sure she wouldn't
mind.She doesn't visit the UK rec. group as much as she used to, so
won't see the post.

[Mike
Hardy Geraniums by Trevor Bath and joy Jones is a great book, certainly helped me. Maybe someone has already told you of this but I am new to this site and haven't moved around it yet.
