Tall Hairy AgrimonyAgrimonia gryposepala
There are 2 species of agrimony in Minnesota, Tall Hairy Agrimony and Roadside Agrimony (Agrimonia striata). Differences between them are subtle, the more obvious are that the latter has hairy underside of leaves, not just along the veins, the flowering branches are mostly erect, it is more densely hairy all the way up the stem, and it tends to be a larger, more robust plant overall.
