Species of flowering plant From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geum japonicum, known as Asian herb bennet,[1] is a yellow-flowering perennial plant native to North America and East Asia, especially Japan. It may be synonymous with Geum macrophyllum, the North American flower. As a traditional herbal remedy it is known as an astringent and used in poultices.[2] However, in recent years, the Thunberg variant has received attention for other possible medical uses.
