Agrimonia
Agrimonia (from the Greek ἀργεμώνη), commonly known as agrimony (UK: , US: ), is a genus of 12–15 species of perennial herbaceous flowering plants in the family Rosaceae, native to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with one species also in Africa. The species grow to between 0.5–2 m (1.6–6.6 ft) tall, with interrupted pinnate leaves, and tiny yellow flowers borne on a single (usually unbranched) spike.
Agrimonia species are used as food plants by the larva of some Lepidoptera species including grizzled skipper (recorded on A. eupatoria) and large grizzled skipper.
