Dasiphora
Dasiphora is a genus of three species of shrubs in the rose family Rosaceae, native to Asia, with one species D. fruticosa, ranging across the entire cool temperate Northern Hemisphere. In the past, the genus was normally included in Potentilla as Potentilla sect. Rhopalostylae, but genetic evidence has shown it to be distinct.
The leaves are divided into five leaflets arranged pinnately, whence the name cinquefoil.Selected species
- Dasiphora davurica
- Dasiphora fruticosa
- Dasiphora parvifolia
The Flora of China also includes Potentilla bifurca and P. imbricata in this group, but these species do not have published combinations in Dasiphora.
