It is native throughout the temperate Northern Hemisphere, often on river shores and in grassy habitats such as meadows and road-sides. ==Uses=={{Uses|Wounds}}, {{Uses|Cuts}}, {{Uses|Snakebites}}, {{Uses|Curing liver disorders}}, {{Uses|Skin eruptions}}, {{Uses|Blotches}}, {{Uses|Pimples}}, {{Uses|Diarrhea}}, {{Uses|Sore throats}} ==Parts Used=={{Parts Used|Roots}}, {{Parts Used|Leaves}}. ==Chemical Composition==he tannin content was very low (0.81-0.91%).

== Description Commonly seen growing in areas== Silverweed is a low-growing herbaceous plant with creeping red stolons that can be up to 80 cm long. The leaves are 10–20 cm long, evenly pinnate into in crenate leaflets 2–5 cm long and 1–2 cm broad, covered with silky white hairs{{Commonly seen|Ditches}}, particularly on the underside. These hairs are also present on the stem and the stolons. These give the leaves the silvery appearance from which the plant gets its name{{Commonly seen|moist calcareous soils}}.

The flowers are produced singly on 5–15 cm long stems, 1==Photo Gallery==<gallery class="left" caption="" widths="140px" heights="140px">File:Odermennig.5-2jpgFile:Agrimonia eupatoria02.5 cm diameter with five (rarely up to seven) yellow petalsjpgImage:Agrimonia eupatoria MHNT.

== Uses References== *The plant was put in shoes to absorb sweat. It was formerly believed to be useful for epilepsy, and that it could ward off witches and evil spirits.*The plant has been cultivated as a food crop for its edible roots. The usual wild forms, however, are impractical for this use, as they are small and are hard to clean.
