Harvestlice

Harvestlice
Agrimonia parviflora
Most field guides call this Small-flowered Agrimony or Swamp Agrimony or something other than Harvestlice. I'm not sure where the name Harvestlice came from. I googled my brains out and couldn't find anything about the origin of the name.

There are four species of Agrimonia in Indiana. The way to identify this is by the number of leaflets on a leaf. It has more than the rest, between 9-15 bigger ones and smaller leaflets in between. It tends to be found in wetter places than the other agrimonies.
