Potentilla
''Potentilla'' is a genus containing over 500 species of Annual plant, annual, Biennial plant, biennial and Perennial plant, perennial herbaceous plant, herbaceous flowering plants in the rose family (biology), family, Rosaceae. Potentillas may also be called cinquefoils in English, but they have also been called five fingers and silverweeds. Some species are called tormentils, though this is often used specifically for Common Tormentil, common tormentil (''P. erecta''). Others are referred to as barren strawberries, which may also refer to ''Potentilla sterilis, P. sterilis'' in particular, or to the closely related ''Waldsteinia fragarioides''. Several other cinquefoils formerly included here are now separated in distinct genera – notably the popular garden shrub ''P. fruticosa'', now ''Dasiphora fruticosa''. Potentillas are generally found throughout the northern continents of the world (holarctic), though some occur in montane biomes of the New Guinea Highlands. Descrip ...

Dasiphora Fruticosa
''Dasiphora fruticosa'' is a species of hardiness (plants), hardy deciduous flowering shrub in the family (biology), family Rosaceae, native plant, native to the cool temperateness, temperate and subarctic regions of the northern hemisphere, often growing at high altitudes in mountains. ''Dasiphora fruticosa'' is still widely referenced in the horticultural literature under its synonym ''Potentilla fruticosa''.

Common Tormentil
''Potentilla erecta'' (syn. ''Tormentilla erecta'', ''Potentilla laeta'', ''Potentilla tormentilla'', known as the (common) tormentil, septfoil or erect cinquefoil ) is a herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the rose family (Rosaceae). Description ''Potentilla erecta'' is a low, clump-forming plant with slender, procumbent to arcuately upright stalks, growing tall and with non-rooting runners. It grows wild predominantly in Europe and western and is listed as a species of least concern. It is very common in grasslands, heaths, moors and mountains, bogs including roadsides and pastures, mostly on acidic soils but avoiding chalk. It is a component of British National Vegetation Classification community M25 (''Molinia caerulea''–''Potentilla erecta'' mire). North America In North America ''Potentilla erecta'' is found in the east as an introduced species. Uses The rhizomatous root is thick. It has little value for food use because of its bitterness and low caloric value. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Potentilla Reptans
''Potentilla reptans'', known as the creeping cinquefoil, European cinquefoil or creeping tormentil, is a flowering plant in the family Rosaceae. Description A creeping perennial plant which can reach heights of up to 20 cm. Its trailing stems can root at the nodes, which allows the species to reproduce via vegative reproduction. Leaves are hairless, hosted on long stalks and are divided into 5 to 7 leaflets. The plant blooms between June and September with flowers that are about 7 mm to 11 mm in diameter with heart-shaped yellow petals. Distribution Native Range ''Potentilla reptans'' has a large native distribution across the continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Potentilla Sterilis
''Potentilla sterilis'', also called strawberryleaf cinquefoil or barren strawberry, is a perennial herbaceous species of flowering plant in the rose family, Rosaceae. It is native to Europe. Description The plant looks rather like wild woodland strawberry (''Fragaria vesca''), or a cultivated strawberry, but is a smaller plant, with smaller flowers, and it does not form fleshy fruit. After the petals have fallen from a flower no obvious fruit forms. The petals are usually well separated from one another, not overlapping as in ''Fragaria vesca''. Another distinguishing feature, illustrated in the photograph at left, is that the terminal tooth of the leaflets is usually shorter than the adjacent teeth and the leaves are matte and darker green.

Rosaceae
Rosaceae (), the rose family, is a family of flowering plants that includes 4,828 known species in 91 genera. The name is derived from the type genus '' Rosa''. The family includes herbs, shrubs, and trees. Most species are deciduous, but some are evergreen. They have a worldwide range but are most diverse in the Northern Hemisphere. Many economically important products come from the Rosaceae, including various edible fruits, such as apples, pears, quinces, apricots, plums, cherries, peaches, raspberries, blackberries, loquats, strawberries, rose hips, hawthorns, and almonds. The family also includes popular ornamental trees and shrubs, such as roses, meadowsweets, rowans, firethorns, and photinias. Among the most species-rich genera in the family are '' Alchemilla'' (270), '' Sorbus'' (260), ''Crataegus'' (260), '' Cotoneaster'' (260), '' Rubus'' (250), and ''Prunus'' (200), which contains the plums, cherries, peaches, apricots, and almonds.

Waldsteinia Fragarioides
''Waldsteinia fragarioides'' (synonym (taxonomy), syn. ''Dalibarda fragarioides'' Michx. and ''Geum fragarioides, '' also called Appalachian barren strawberry, or just barren strawberry, is a low, spreading plant with showy yellow flowers that appear in early spring. This plant is often used as an underplanting in perennial gardens. In some ways the appearance is similar to other low plants of the rose family such as ''Fragaria'' (strawberries) or ''Potentilla indica'' (Indian strawberry), but it lacks runners and has more rounded leaves. It is native to eastern North America, from Minnesota, Ontario, Quebec, and Maine south to Indiana and Pennsylvania (and as far south as North Carolina in the mountains). It is evergreen. Conservation status in the United States It is listed endangered in Connecticut, Illinois, and Maine, as threatened in New Hampshire, as a special concern in Massachusetts, and as rare in Indiana.

Fragaria
''Fragaria'' () is a genus of flowering plants in the rose family, Rosaceae, commonly known as strawberries for their edible fruits. There are more than 20 described species and many Hybrid plant, hybrids and cultivars. The most common strawberries grown commercially are cultivars of the strawberry, garden strawberry, a hybrid known as ''Fragaria'' × ''ananassa''. Strawberries have a taste that varies by cultivar, and ranges from quite sweet to rather tart. Strawberries are an important commercial fruit crop, widely grown in all temperate regions of the world. Description Strawberries are not Berry (botany), berries in the botanical sense.Esau, K. 1977. ''Anatomy of seed plants''. John Wiley and Sons, New York. The fleshy and edible part of the "fruit" is a receptacle (botany), receptacle, and the parts that are sometimes mistakenly called "seeds" are achenes and therefore the true botanical fruits.

Strawberry
The garden strawberry (or simply strawberry; ''Fragaria × ananassa'') is a widely grown Hybrid (biology), hybrid plant cultivated worldwide for its fruit. The genus ''Fragaria'', the strawberries, is in the rose family, Rosaceae. The fruit is appreciated for its aroma, bright red colour, juicy texture, and sweetness. It is eaten either fresh or in prepared foods such as fruit preserves, jam, ice cream, and chocolates. Artificial strawberry flavourings and aromas are widely used in commercial products. Botanically, the strawberry is not a berry (botany), berry, but an aggregate fruit, aggregate accessory fruit, accessory fruit. Each apparent 'seed' on the outside of the strawberry is actually an achene, a botanical fruit with a seed inside it. The garden strawberry was first bred in Brittany, France, in the 1750s via a cross of ''Virginia strawberry, F. virginiana'' from eastern North America and ''Fragaria chiloensis, F. chiloensis'', which was brought from Chile by Amédé ...

Dryas (plant)
''Dryas'' is a genus of perennial cushion-forming evergreen dwarf shrubs in the family Rosaceae, native to the arctic and alpine regions of Europe, Asia and North America. The genus is named after the dryads, the tree nymphs of ancient Greek mythology. The classification of ''Dryas'' within the Rosaceae has been unclear. The genus was formerly placed in the subfamily Rosoideae, but is now placed in subfamily Dryadoideae. The species are superficially similar to '' Geum'' (with which they share the common name avens), ''Potentilla'', and ''Fragaria'' (strawberry). However, ''Dryas'' are distinct in having flowers with ''eight'' petals (rarely seven or up to ten), instead of the five petals found in most other genera in the Rosaceae. The flowers are erect and white with a yellow centre ('' Dryas integrifolia'', ''Dryas octopetala'') or pendulous and all-yellow ('' Dryas drummondii''), and held conspicuously above the small plants. This makes them very popular in rockeries and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
