Description
A. incisa is a perennial forb in the family Roaceae native to North America [1]. It has tuberous roots and rhizomes, which measure from 2.25 cm to 3.2 cm wide. Fruit is large and barbed, similar to all Agrimonia species [2]. The fruit contains reflexed bristles in the lowermost row, and the whole fruit must be stratified in order to initiate germination [3].
Distribution
A. incisa is found in the Southeast United States, however the distribution is spotty ranging from North Carolina to central Florida and eastern Texas [4].

Habitat
A. incisa occurs in sandhills and other upland pine communities.[5] However, the habitat can vary from mesic longleaf pine woodland to dry pine-oak woodland, and pine plantations [6].
