Geum geniculatum
Geum geniculatum is a species of flowering plant in the rose family known by the common name bent avens. It is endemic to the southern Appalachian Mountains in the United States, where it occurs on only five mountains: Grandfather Mountain, Snake Mountain, and Rich Mountain in North Carolina, Roan Mountain straddling the North Carolina-Tennessee border, and Whitetop Mountain in Virginia.
Geum geniculatum is a perennial herb growing 50 to 70 cm (20 to 28 in) tall. The three-parted leaves are 1 to 1.5 cm (0.4 to 0.6 in) long. The clustered flowers have white, pinkish, or greenish petals. Flowering occurs in summer. The flowers are likely pollinated by bumblebees and honeybees.
