Alchemilla
''Alchemilla'' is a genus of herbaceous perennial plants in the family Rosaceae, with the common name lady's mantle applied generically as well as specifically to '' Alchemilla mollis'' when referred to as a garden plant. The plant used as a herbal tea or for medicinal usage such as gynaecological disorders is ''Alchemilla xanthochlora'' or in Middle Europe the so-called common lady's mantle '' Alchemilla vulgaris''. There are about 700 species, the majority native to cool temperate and subarctic regions of Europe and Asia, with a few species native to the mountains of Africa and the Americas. Most species of ''Alchemilla'' are clump-forming or mounded perennials with basal leaves arising from woody rhizomes. Some species have leaves with lobes that radiate from a common point and others have divided leaves—both are typically fan-shaped with small teeth at the tips. The long-stalked, gray-green to green leaves are often covered with soft hairs, and show a high degree of water-r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alchemilla Erythropoda
''Alchemilla erythropoda'', the dwarf lady's mantle, is a species of flowering herbaceous perennial plant in the family Rosaceae, native to Eastern Europe. It forms a clump of hairy, palmate leaves up to high, with sprays of green-yellow flowers in early summer. The leaves of this and its relative '' A. mollis'' are noted for being highly water-repellent. It is smaller than ''A. mollis'', however, and its leaves may develop a reddish tinge if grown in full sun. This plant is valued as groundcover in cultivation in temperate regions. It tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, but is prone to self-seeding. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. It grows best in full sun to partial sun conditions, and is relatively pest- and disease-free. In the US, it's suitable for hardiness zones A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined as having a certain average annual minimum temperature, a factor relevant to the survival of many plants.

Alchemilla Vulgaris
''Alchemilla vulgaris'', common name Lady's mantle, is an herbaceous perennial plant in Europe and Greenland. These perennial wildflowers, members of the rose family, are sometimes grown in gardens - mainly for their leaves, which collect sparkling water droplets. Lady's mantle is commonly seen in unimproved or lightly fertilized grassland, on roadside verges and banks, in chalk downland and on mountain slopes. Synonyms: * ''Alchemilla acutangula'' Buser * ''Alchemilla acutiloba'' Opiz * ''Alchemilla latifolia'' Salisb. * ''Alchemilla pontica'' (Buser) K.Malý * ''Potentilla acutiloba'' (Opiz) Christenh. & Väre Identification The distinctively corrugated and lobed (5 to 11 lobes with the upper leaves having fewer) kidney-shaped to semicircular leaves of Alchemilla make identification to genus level fairly straightforward. The yellowish-green flowers form clusters. Each individual flower is typically 3mm in diameter, with no true petals but a four-lobed epicalyx, four sep ...

Alchemilla Mollis
''Alchemilla mollis'', the garden lady's-mantle or lady's-mantle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae. This herbaceous perennial plant is native to southern Europe and grown throughout the world as an ornamental garden plant. It grows tall, with leaves that are palmately veined, with a scalloped and serrated margin. The stipules are noteworthy in that they are fused together and leaf like. The chartreuse yellow flowers are held in dense clusters above the foliage. ''A. mollis'' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. The plant self-seeds freely and can become invasive. According to some accounts, lady's mantle has been used for centuries as a herbal remedy. According to other authorities, however, it has never been used medicinally, but has been confused with two species that have a history of medicinal use: '' A. alpina'' (Alpine lady's mantle) and ''A. xanthochlora''. The plant is often grown as groundcover, and is valued ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
