|discussion=<p>Varieties and forms have been described in an effort to classify the variation encompassed in <i>Geum canadense</i>. In the eastern half of the United States, it is by far the most common, widespread, and variable of the <i>Geum</i> species. Nearly all writers of recent floras have not found it worthwhile to apply names to the variants. Perhaps the most distinctive and worthy of further consideration are plants from the southwestern corner of the range in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. These plants, some of which fit Fernald and Weatherby’s description of <i></i>var.<i> texanum</i>, bloom from late March through May, significantly earlier than the rest of the species, which typically flowers after June first, even in the other southern states.</p><!--
--><p><i>Geum canadense</i> hybridizes with <i>G. urbanum</i> (= G. ×catlingii J.-P. Bernard & R. Gauthier); see discussion under 15. <i>G. urbanum</i>.</p><!--
--><p><i>Geum</i> album J. F. Gmelin is a superfluous name that pertains here.</p>
