Geum peckii is a species of herbaceous, perennial flowering plant in the rose family known by the common name mountain avens.
It is native to eastern North America, where it is known from only two locations, the White Mountains of New Hampshire and three sites in Nova Scotia.
[1] This perennial herb grows 20 to 40 centimeters tall and has compound leaves made up of several rounded leaflets.
