This article appears in Volume V01, Page 424 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
AGRIMONY (from the Lat. agrimonia, a transformation of apye,uUwn, a word of unknown etymology) , a slender perennial herb (botanical name, Agrimonia Eupatoria, natural order Rosaceae), 11 to 3 ft. high, growing in hedge-banks, copses and borders of
fields
 . The leafy
stem
  ends in spikes of small yellow
flowers
 . The flower-stalk becomes recurved in the fruiting stage, and the fruit bears a number of hooks which enable it to cling to rough objects, such as the coat of an animal, thus ensuring distribution of the seed. The plant is common in Britain and widely spread through the north temperate region. The underground woody
stem
  is astringent and yields a yellow dye.
The name has been unsystematically given to several other
plants
 ; for instance: bastard, Dutch, hemp or water
agrimony
  (Eupatorium cannabinum); noble or three-leaved
agrimony
  (
Anemone
  hepatica); water agrimony (Bidens); and wild agrimony (Potentilla anserina).
