Agrimonia
See list of 7 species in this genus-
1a. Hypanthium densely and evidently hirsute in and between the furrows; petals 4–6 mm long
-
1b. Hypanthium glabrous or stipitate-glandular, sometimes with minute, eglandular hairs in the furrows; petals 2–5 mm long
-
2a. Axis of raceme with abundant stipitate glands [Fig. 825]; leaflets with small, glandular dots on the abaxial surface
-
3a. Larger leaf blades with 11–23 leaflets excluding the smaller leaflets distributed along the leaf rachis; axis of raceme with dense, short eglandular hairs in addition to the glandular ones and occasional long, eglandular ones
-
3b. Larger leaf blades with 3–9 leaflets excluding the smaller leaflets distributed along the leaf rachis; axis of raceme either lacking eglandular hairs or with longer, ascending to spreading, eglandular hairs
-
4b. Axis of raceme with sparse (sometimes very sparse), ascending eglandular hairs 0.5–1 mm long; hypanthium 2–2.5 mm long; outer series of hooked bristles on hypanthium ascending to erect [Fig. 826]; some roots tuberous thickened
-
-
2b. Axis of raceme without stipitate glands [Fig. 826]; leaflets without glandular dots on the abaxial surface or with them in A. striata
-
5a. Leaflets with small, glandular dots on the abaxial surface; hypanthium 4–5 mm long; roots all fibrous
-
5b. Leaflets without glandular dots on the abaxial surface (or these obscure); hypanthium 2–3 mm long; some roots tuberous-thickened
-
6a. Leaves with 3 or 5 leaflets excluding the smaller leaflets distributed along the leaf rachis; leaflets rounded at apex; hypanthium 2–2.5 mm long; pubescence of stem wide-spreading, 3–4 mm long
-
6b. Larger leaves with 5–13 leaflets excluding the smaller leaflets distributed along the leaf rachis; leaflets acute to obtuse at the apex; hypanthium 2.5–3 mm long; pubescence of stem loosely ascending or incurved, 2–3 mm long
