Agrimonia rostellata

Woodland Agrimonia leaves grow on slender stems up to 3 feet tall but they are usually 2 feet tall or less. Each leaf contains 3-9 leaflets which are thin and oblong with large coarse teeth. They have conspicuous glands on the underside but are otherwise without hairs or with short hairs on the veins beneath. The flowering and fruiting stem has glands on the surface and sometimes also a few straight bristles. The bottom half of the bell-shaped fruit is about 1/4" long and covered with glands but not hairy. The roots are sometimes tuberous and thickened but not fibrous.

Edges, open areas, thickets, deciduous or mixed deciduous, and moist to wet forests and woodlands, especially in base-rich soils, less commonly in dry woodlands, at 0–1100 m elevation (Flora of North America Editorial Committee 2014, SEINet 2023, Weakley and Southeastern Flora Team 2023).

Flowering in July and August, fruiting from July to October (Weakley and Southeastern Flora Team 2023). Fruit have hooked bristles, which facilitate dispersal, especially by mammals (Flora of North America Editorial Committee 2014).
