'''''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.
