The flowering plants <ref name="flowering plants"/> (angiosperms)=Uses=={{Uses|Wounds}}, also known as Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta{{Uses|Cuts}}, are the most diverse group of land plants{{Uses|Snakebites}}, with 416 families{{Uses|Curing liver disorders}}, approx. 13{{Uses|Skin eruptions}},164 known genera and a total of c. 295{{Uses|Blotches}},383 known species. Like gymnosperms{{Uses|Pimples}}, angiosperms are seed-producing plants; they are distinguished from gymnosperms by characteristics including flowers{{Uses|Diarrhea}}, endosperm within the seeds, and the production of fruits that contain the seeds. Etymologically, angiosperm means a plant that produces seeds within an enclosure, in other words, a fruiting plant. The term {{Uses|Sore throats}}<ref name="angiospermUses" comes from the Greek composite word (angeion, "case" or "casing", and sperma, "seed") meaning "enclosed seeds", after the enclosed condition of the seeds./>
The ancestors of flowering plants diverged from gymnosperms in the Triassic Period==Parts Used=={{Parts Used|Dried Folaige}}, during the range 245 to 202 million years ago (mya), and the first flowering plants are known from 160 mya. They diversified extensively during the Lower Cretaceous, became widespread by 120 mya, and replaced conifers as the dominant trees from 100 to 60 mya{{Parts Used|Whole herb}}.
==Common Chemical Composition==Contains volatile oils, flavonoids, apigenin, luteolin, quercetin, kaempferol, tiliroside, triterpene glycosides including euscapic acid and tormentic acid, phenolic acids, and 3%–21% tannins<ref name=="chemical composition"/>

Thrives in a dry lightly shaded position, though it prefers full sun.Plants usually self-sow quite freely when growing in a suitable position. The seeds are contained in burrs that can easily attach themselves to clothing or animal's fur, thus transporting them to a new area where they can germinate and grow.The cultivar 'Sweet scented' is popular in France for making tea because the whole plant is sweet scented and the flowers have a spicy apricot-like fragrance<ref name="How to plant/cultivate"/> ==Commonly seen growing in areas=={{Commonly seen|Tall grasslands}}, {{Commonly seen|meadows}}, {{Commonly seen|Borders of forests and fields}}. ==Photo Gallery==<gallery class="left" caption="" widths="140px" heights="140px">File:Odermennig.jpgFile:Agrimonia eupatoria02.jpgImage:Agrimonia eupatoria MHNT.BOT.2004.0.jpg</gallery> == References == <references><ref name="flowering plantschemical composition">[https://enwww.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378874112006393?via%3Dihub "sciencedirect"]</ref> <ref name="Leaf">[https://web.archive.org/web/20131226161459/http://www.wikipediawildflowers-guide.com/39-agrimony.html "wayback machine"]</ref> <ref name="How to plant/cultivate">[http://practicalplants.org/wiki/Flowering_plant '''wikipedia'''Agrimonia_eupatoria "practical palnts"]</ref>
