Perennial herbaceous plant of the rose family. It has a more or less weak horizontal rhizome with numerous additional roots on it. The stem is 25-150 cm tall, erect, simple or slightly branched at the top, grooved, covered, like the petioles of the leaves, with long thin deviated hairs sitting on brownish tubercles. The leaves are alternate, interruptedly pinnate, dark green above, glabrous or sparsely hairy, light green below, hairy along the veins and more or less glandular on the entire surface; lower and middle leaves petiolate, apical – sessile; leaves (5-7 of them, rarely 9) are sessile, elongated-rhombic, rhombic – obovate or almost lanceolate, wedge-shaped narrowed to the base and entire edges, from middle to top with (3)4—5(7) large pointed or blunt teeth and the same number of veins on each side and one slightly larger than lateral pointed or blunt terminal tooth; the intermediate lobes, which are between the leaves, are elongated-ovate, often entire. Stipules are almost entire, semicordate and stem-wrapped. The flowers are regular, bisexual, 5-petalled, collected in a spike-shaped tassel at the top of the stem; petals elongated, pale yellow. The fruit consists of 1-2 nuts placed in a hypanthium, the hypanthium is bell-shaped, with deep grooves reaching almost to its base, sparsely hairy, at the top under the calyx with a multi-rowed circle of spikes directed upwards and converging above the fruit in the form of a cone bent like a hook. Blooms in June – July. the intermediate lobes, which are between the leaves, are elongated-ovate, often entire. Stipules are almost entire, semicordate and stem-wrapped.

Distribution . Hairy gorse grows in the Carpathians, in Polissia and in the forest-steppe in forests, forest edges, meadows, among shrubs, on meadows, riverbanks, and the slopes of streams.
Procurement and storage . For the production of medicines, parila grass (Herba Agrimoniae) is used, which is harvested during the flowering of the plant. The tops of stems 30-40 cm long are cut off, and only the leaves are cut off from the lower lignified parts of the stems. The collected raw materials are dried in the open air in the shade or in a ventilated room, spreading them in a thin layer.
The plant is unofficial .
Chemical composition . Hairy parylo has a chemical composition close to ordinary parylo, but differs in slightly different content and ratio of the components that make it up.
Pharmacological properties and use. Galenic products of Parila hairy have astringent and diuretic properties, stimulate appetite and reflexively increase the secretion of digestive glands, contribute to the normalization of metabolism, show hemostatic and weak choleretic properties. In vitro experiments revealed that water extracts from the plant have an inhibitory effect on the herpes virus, and alcohol extracts inhibit the development of Staphylococcus aureus and α-hemolytic streptococcus. The anthelmintic properties of the plant have also been experimentally confirmed. The most expedient form of application of hairy steam is an infusion. Internally, it is recommended for diseases of the liver and gall bladder (hepatitis, jaundice, gallstone disease), as a stomach remedy and antidote for alkaloid poisoning, against diarrhea and worms, against hemorrhoids and warts (Verrucae vulgaris), to stop internal bleeding (hemoptysis, renal and uterine bleeding), in case of persistent inflammation of the urinary bladder, oliguria and nocturnal incontinence, and in case of congestion and edema. In case of diseases of the liver and gall bladder, it is advisable to use steam infusion in a mixture with other, stronger choleretics of plant origin. In a mixture with other plants, parilo is also used for kidney stone disease. Externally, the infusion of parilla grass is used for inflammatory processes of the oral cavity and upper respiratory tract, for the treatment of wounds, bedsores and ulcers, for boils and dermatitis, for stopping parenchymal bleeding, for hemorrhoids, for washing the vagina with baldness and for foot baths when feeling tired after a long time travels Parilo ordinary is also used in homeopathy. in the case of persistent inflammation of the urinary bladder, oliguria and nocturnal urinary incontinence and in case of congestion and edema.
