GEUM

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 913 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GEO-GNU
GEUM , in botany, a genus of
hardy
  perennial herbs (natural order Rosaceae) containing about thirty species, widely distributed in temperate and arctic regions. The erect flowering shoots
spring
  from a cluster of radical leaves, which are deeply cut or lobed, the largest division being at the top of the
leaf
 . The
flowers
  are borne singly on
long
  stalks at the end of the
stem
  or its branches. They are white, yellow or red in colour, and shallowly cup-shaped. The fruit consists of a number of dry achenes, each of which bears a hook formed from the persistent lower portion of the style, and admirably adapted for ensuring distribution. Two species occur in Britain under the popular name " avens." G. urbanum is a very common hedge-bank plant with small yellow
flowers
 ; G. rivale (water avens) is a rarer plant found by streams, and has larger yellow flowers an inch or more across. The species are easy to cultivate and well adapted for borders or the
rock
 -
garden
 . They are propagated by seeds or by division. The most popular
garden
  species are G. chiloense and its varieties, G. coccineum and G. montanum.
