Steam Siege is a set in the XY series. It was released on August 3, 2016. The printed size is 114. This checklist is longer, at 116 cards. Tangrowth is 2/114, in position 2 of 116 on this checklist. Before it is 1 Tangela, and after it is 3 Hoppip. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Tangrowth is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 130 HP. In the Pokédex this is Tangrowth (#465), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Tangela. In this catalog that name is Tangela (#114).

The flavor text reads "Its vines grow so profusely that, in the warm season, you can't even see its eyes."

I keep a set binder for Steam Siege, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Steam Siege set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Tangrowth can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
