Herb robert (Geranium robertianum) is a plant species that can be found growing naturally worldwide, including in Europe, Asia, North America, and North Africa. The common name references Robert of Molesme, a Christian saint and herbalist from the 11th century. The herb robert gets one of its nicknames, "Stinking Bob," from the scent that the leaves emit when crushed; it's said to be similar to the smell of burning rubber!
