The leaves are slightly succulent and covered with microscopical papillae. The leaves are mostly pinnately incised. Almost all pinnae have a petiolule. Appear rather compact due to the very short pedicels. P. carnosum subsp. ferulaceum and P. polycephalum exhibit long and narrow petals. The inflorescence of P. carnosum subsp. ferulaceum fits the overall pattern, but continues to produce further pseudo-umbels after the older flowers have already faded. The youngest pseudo-umbels are formed successively a few mm higher and higher; this leads to a delicately branched structure that resembles a panicle of grasses when not in flower. Individual inflorescences may last several months in P. carnosum subsp. ferulaceum. Due to its great vitality it may even produce vegetative shoots from the lower half of its inflorescence after flowering has ceased. P. carnosum subsp. ferulaceum exhibit a simple root system without any thickenings. From: Albers, F; Becker, M. 2009.

The area of P. carnosum subsp. ferulaceum is largely situated in the Western Cape and stretches into the Northern Cape. The range of subsp. ferulaceum borders on the area of Pelargonium carnosum subsp. carnosum, but instead of proceeding to the Atlantic coast, stretches in the opposite direction towards the shrubland of the Great and Little Karoo.
