'''''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.

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.

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.
