Description
Potentilla is a genus containing over 300 species of annual, biennial and perennial herbaceous flowering plants in the rose family, Rosaceae. They are usually called cinquefoils in English. Potentilla are generally only found throughout the northern continents of the world, though some may even be found in montane biomes of the New Guinea Highlands. Several other "cinquefoils" formerly included here are now separated in distinct genera.
Cinquefoil means "five-leaved", from the French cinq feuilles ("five leaves") and ultimately the Latin quinquefolium.
Some species are called tormentils, though this is often used specifically for common tormentil. Others are referred to as "barren strawberries"
