Herbs, perennial, scapose, often mat-forming, 1–4 dm, strigose; rhizomatous. Stems 1–20+, ± erect. Leaves deciduous, basal, sometimes clustered around scape, simple or compound; stipules adnate to petiole base, narrow, scarious, margins entire; petiole present; blade ± rounded, deeply cordate, ternate or 3–5(–7)-lobed, 3–5 cm, herbaceous, margins flat, when lobes usually shallow, dentate, often with large teeth distally, venation palmate, surfaces strigose or hirsute. Inflorescences terminal, 3–8-flowered, panicles, open, ± as long as petioles, elongating somewhat in fruit; bracts present; bracteoles absent. Pedicels present. Flowers 8–20 mm diam.; epicalyx bractlets 0 [5, minute]; hypanthium broadly obconic to obcampanulate, slightly contracted at mouth, 2–4 mm, strigose or glabrous; sepals 5, spreading, triangular; petals 5, yellow, obovate to elliptic, elliptic-lanceolate, or suborbiculate; stamens 50–70, ± equal to petals, filaments persistent; torus not evident, receptacle base villous; carpels 3–7, short-villous; ovule 1. Fruits aggregated achenes, 3–7, broadly crescent-shaped, 1.5–2.5 mm, short-villous; hypanthium persistent; sepals persistent, ± reflexed; styles deciduous, not hooked. x = 7.
Distribution
North America, Eurasia, temperate regions.
Discussion
Species 6 or 7 (4 in the flora).
Plants of Waldsteinia are distinctive, small, rhizomatous, and often mat-forming herbs of woodlands with ternate or three- to five-lobed leaves, differing from Geum by their long, straight, deciduous styles. J. E. E. Smedmark (2006) showed that the type species of Waldsteinia is nested in Geum.
