Agrimonia eupatoria
This medium to tall, erect perennial with deeply veined pinnate leaves possesses a conspicuous spike of five petalled yellow flowers throughout June, July and August. Each flower develops into a distinctive reddish-brown woody fruit, deeply furrowed and fringed with hooked bristles. Close up the whole plant is slightly aromatic and the flowers smell weakly of apricots. It was spotted in full bloom in Tzoumerka mountains, Epirus region, Greece.
