The Rose Family is fairly diverse, encompassing not only roses, brambles and sweet briars, but many of the 'berries' such as strawberry, raspberry, loganberry, etc. But it also includes meadowsweet,, avens, agrimony, burnets, lady's mantles, piri-piri-burs and the cinquefoils and tormentils. The latter form the Tormentil Complex, being hybrids between Tormentils and Cinquefoils. There are only four known hybrids, and only one of those possesses a common name, Hybrid Cinquefoil.

Spring Cinquefoil       crantzii × taberna.. There are a number of other Tormentils and Cinqufoils with no known hybrids. These are listed here: Hoary Cinquefoil, Shrubby Cinquefoil, Grey Cinquefoil, Russian Cinquefoil, Mountain Cinquefoil, Ternate-Leaved Cinquefoil, Marsh Cinquefoil, Sulphur Cinquefoil, Brook Cinquefoil and Rock Cinquefoil. Most of these are unlikely to get any other entries in this tome, for, with the exception of one or two, they must appear very similar to anyone but an expert. Text on Family goes here
