Agrimonia
Agrimonia (pronounced: /æɡˈrɪməniə/) 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 are commonly known as agrimony.
Etymology
The name Agrimonia may have its roots in the Greek "argemone" which refers to plants healing to the eyes; or it may be derived from the Greek word "agremone," which refers to a sort of plant. The Latin name "Agrimonia" has been used since the times of Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD) but the derivation is not known.
