Geum montanum, the Alpine avens, is a species of flowering plant of the genus Geum in the Rosaceae family, native to the mountains of central and southern Europe.
Geum montanum is widespread in the Alps, typically at elevations in the range 1430–2300 m (though it occurs at as low as 700 m in Centovalli and as high as 3500 m in Monte Rosa). It is found in the Pyrenees, the Cantabrians, the Massif Central, the Black Forest, the Sudetes (1300–1400 m), throughout the Carpathians (900–2500 m in the Tatras), in the north of the Apennines, on the island of Corsica, and on the Balkan Peninsula: in the mountains of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo (specifically in Žljeb and Accursed Mountains), northernmost Greece (2000–2500 m in Varnous, Kajmakčalan and Tzena), in the east of Serbia (Suva Planina) and the west of Bulgaria (at elevations of 1600–2700 m in western and central Stara Planina, Sredna Gora, Vitosha, Osogovo, Rila, Pirin, Slavyanka and the western Rhodopes).

In cultivation in the UK, Geum montanum has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. [6]
Geum montanum roots have been used in the traditional Austrian medicine internally as tea for treatment of rheumatism, gout, infections, and fever. [7]

Rosaceae, the rose family, is a medium-sized family of flowering plants that includes 4,828 known species in 91 genera.
The Balkan mountain range is a mountain range in the eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula in Southeastern Europe. The range is conventionally taken to begin at the peak of Vrashka Chuka on the border between Bulgaria and Serbia. It then runs for about 560 kilometres (350 mi), first in a south-easterly direction along the border, then eastward across Bulgaria, forming a natural barrier between the northern and southern halves of the country, before finally reaching the Black Sea at Cape Emine. The mountains reach their highest point with Botev Peak at 2,376 metres (7,795 ft).

It is also a component of purple moor grass and rush pastures, a Biodiversity Action Plan habitat in the United Kingdom.

Other names of the plant are nodding avens, drooping avens, cure-all, water flower and Indian chocolate. It is native to the temperate regions of Europe, Central Asia and parts of North America, where it is known as the purple avens.

Rosa pendulina,, the Alpine rose or mountain rose, is a species of wild rose found in the mountains of central and southern Europe.

Geum reptans, the creeping avens, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Geum of the family Rosaceae native to some mountains of Central and Southeastern Europe. A long-lived perennial that reproduces both sexually and clonally, it has high phenotypic variation, but these variable traits do not appear to be adaptations to local conditions.
