About Alchemilla xanthochlora Rothm.
Alchemilla xanthochlora Rothm. is a herbaceous perennial plant that often grows to form a mat-like layer of leaves across the ground. Its stems grow erect or ascending, with flowering stems reaching 15 to 50 cm in height. Its leaves are palmately divided into 9 to 11 lobes, but are not split into separate leaflets, and have petioles 8 to 15 cm long. The upper (adaxial) surface of the leaf is glabrous or has very few hairs, while the lower (abaxial) surface, along with the stems and leaf petioles, has dense to erect trichomes. Leaf margins are toothed. Flowers are typically 2.5 mm in diameter, and are greenish or yellowish. The inflorescence they form is usually glabrous and shaped like a cymose cluster. Sepals are 1 mm long, and are longer than the epicalyx. Flowers usually contain 4 stamens. Fruits are achenes, each 1.5 mm long. This species is native to Europe and Northern America. It has been introduced into Finland, Northwest European Russia, Eastern Australia (New South Wales and Victoria), and Eastern Canada.
