No relation to : Hemp Agrimony [a plant with similar name]
It inhabits grassy places. A yellow dye can be extracted from this plant.
The honey-scented flowers were once added to mead for flavour. The dried leaves have an apricot scent.
The pinnately arranged leaves are alternately large and small but otherwise reminiscent of those of Silverweed, another member of the Rose Family, and are silvery on the underside and have deep forward-pointing serrations. The plant has a single stiff stem with leaves around the lower half, and numerous five-petalled flowers on very short stems held close to the stem on the upper half, all facing outwards.
The fruits are similar to those of Wood Avens (another member of the Rose Family), and are outwardly and downward pointing.
