Alchemilla (from an Arabic name). Rosaceae. Hardy herbaceous perennials, suitable for rock-gardens and front rows of borders.

Low (6-8 in.): lvs. palmately lobed or compound: fls. small, greenish or yellowish, in clusters; petals 0; stamens 1-4; pistils 1-4, becoming achenes included in the persisting calyx.—Species 30 or more in Cent, and S. Amer., Afr., India and elsewhere, largely in mountains.

Plants of easiest culture. Propagation is effected by division or by seeds. A. arvensis and A. pratensis of Europe are naturalized in North America. The A. major of catalogues is probably a form of one of the species.
