GEUM. Avens. [Rosaceae]

Five species of Geum are recorded in Britain. These include the native Water Avens (G. rivale), Hybrid Avens (G. x intermdia) and Wood Avens (Geum urbanum).

Only one dipterous miner, the agromyzid Agromyza idaeina, is recorded on Geum in Britain. A single key to the dipterous miners of Rosaceae is provided.

See AGRIMONIA.

Elsewhere the agromyzid Agromyza idaeina is recorded mining Geum.

Six non-dipterous miners are recorded on Geum in Britain.
