Alchemilla vulgaris, A. xanthochlora

Family

Rosaceae (Rose Family)

Etymology

The genus name Alchemilla derives from the Arabic  alkemelych, "alchemy," as alchemists believed that the morning dewdrops on this plant, which they called "heaven's water," held magical powers to help them in their work. The "lady" in the common name lady's mantle is the Virgin Mary, with whom the plant was associated in the Middle Ages; the leaf of the plant was thought to resemble a cloak. In earlier times, however, this plant was linked to Freya, the Norse goddess of love and beauty.

Range of Appearance

Lady's mantle is a perennial, native to Eurasia but widely naturalized, and can grow 4 to 18 inches in height. The stems are bluish green when young and become reddish brown as they mature. The toothed, palmate, almost circular leaves have seven to eleven lobes each. The greenish yellow flowers are small and grow in umbellate panicles. The plant prefers moist, shady conditions.
