Geum rivale, the water avens, is a flowering plant of the family Rosaceae. It is native to much of Europe, with the exception of Mediterranean areas, as well as some parts of Central Asia and North America [1]. In North America, it is known as purple avens [2]. It grows in bogs and damp meadows [3], and produces nodding red flowers from May to September [4].
