'''''Sanguisorba''''' is a genus of perennial herbs or small shrubs in the family [[Rosaceae]], native to the temperate regions of the [[Northern Hemisphere]]. The common name is '''Burnet'''. The stems grow to 50-200 cm tall, with a cluster of basal [[leaf|leaves]], and further leaves arranged alternately up the stem. The leaves are pinnate, 5-30 cm long, with 7-25 leaflets, the leaflets with a serrated margin. Young leaves grow from the crown in the center of the plant. The [[flower]]s are small, produced in dense clusters 5-20 mm long; each flower has four very small petals, white to red in colour. {{Inc| Burnet (Potbrium Sanguisorba, Linn.). A hardy rosaceous perennial, the piquant Lvs. of which are sometimes used in flavoring soups and salads. The dried roots are occasionally used as a family remedy. Burnet is little known in this country as a condimental herb. It is worthy a place in the hardy border for the ornamental character of its odd-pinnate Lvs. and its little heads of fls. with drooping stamens. The Lfts. are very dark green, ovate and notched: sts. 1-2 ft. high, bearing oblong or globular monoecious heads. Of easiest cult., either from seeds or by division of the clumps. Native of Eu. }} {{Inc| Sanguisorba (Latin, blood and drink up, from reputed styptic properties in folk-medicine). Rosaceae. Chiefly perennial herbs, grown as salad plants and also sometimes used in the hardy border. Leaves unequally pinnate; stipules adherent to the petiole: fls. small, often polygamous or dioecious, crowded in a dense head or spike at the summit of a long, naked peduncle; calyx-tube persistent, with 4 broad petal-like spreading deciduous lobes; petals none; stamens 4-12: achene (commonly solitary) inclosed in the 4-angled dry and thickish calyx-tube.—About 35 species, natives of the North Temperate Zone. See Poterium. S. atrosanguinea, Hort., is a form listed in the trade as having wiry sts. 3 ft. high bearing heads of rich crimson fls. Possibly the European S. officinalis, Linn. {{SCH}} }} ==Cultivation== Burnet tolerates [[drought]], heat and cold well. The leaves contain [[Vitamin C]]; those of ''S. minor'' have a mild, [[cucumber]]-like taste, and are sometimes used in [[salad]]s ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== *''[[Sanguisorba albanica]]'' *''[[Sanguisorba alpina]]'' *''[[Sanguisorba ancistroides]]'' *''[[Sanguisorba annua]]'' *''[[Sanguisorba applanata]]'' *''[[Sanguisorba armena]]'' *''[[Sanguisorba canadensis]]'' - Canadian Burnet *''[[Sanguisorba caucasica]]'' *''[[Sanguisorba cretica]]'' *''[[Sanguisorba diandra]]'' *''[[Sanguisorba dodecandra]]'' - Italian Burnet *''[[Sanguisorba filiformis]]'' *''[[Sanguisorba hakusanensis]]'' - Hakusan Burnet *''[[Sanguisorba hybrida]]'' *''[[Sanguisorba magnifica]]'' *''[[Sanguisorba menendezii]]'' - Canary Islands Burnet *''[[Sanguisorba menziesii]]'' *''[[Sanguisorba minor]]'' - Salad Burnet *''[[Sanguisorba obtusa]]'' - Japanese Burnet *''[[Sanguisorba officinalis]]'' - Great Burnet *''[[Sanguisorba stipulata]]'' *''[[Sanguisorba tenuifolia]]'' - Asian Burnet ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
