Agrimony, perennial herb common in fields and roadsides of the North Temperate Zone. Several species of agrimony grow in Europe and North America. These slightly aromatic, bitter-tasting plants are sometimes used for herb tea, and the roots produce a yellow dye. The plant’s leaves are finely divided, and the yellow flowers grow in small clusters. The fruits of these perennial herbs cling easily to clothing because of their many hooked bristles.
Scientific classification: Agrimonies are members of the family Rosaceae and are classified in the genus
Agrimonia.
