Geum peckii
Also called Eastern Mountain Avens
Geum peckii, commonly known as mountain avens, Eastern mountain avens, Peck's avens, or Benoîte de Peck in French, is a species of herbaceous, perennial flowering plant in the rose family. It is native to eastern North America, where it is known from only two locations, the White Mountains of New Hampshire and three sites in Nova Scotia.
It is named after the American naturalist William Dandridge Peck, who first collected the plant on Mount Washington in 1804.
G. peckii has an extremely limited range and is known from 28 occurrences, 19 of which are found in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, with the remaining 9 found on Brier Island and Digby Neck in Nova Scotia. The total population is estimated to be in the tens of thousands, with less than 3,000 individuals in Novia Scotia.
